Microsoft (through Costco) sells a very inexpensive unit that plugs into

the clumsiness of using a notebook while driving, it is a possibility.
However, I believe they use TomTom again, so that leaves out Europe, unless
Microsoft has another source for the maps and database there.


Microsoft's USB GPS works with both Streets and Trips for the US and Autoroute
for Europe. We've been using both for about eight years. Nothing clumsy about it
if you have another person for a navigator.

The same two sw packages also work just fine with the Earthmate and Deluo GPS
units.
