Re: Lap Top verses GPS
I use a laptop for many things (such as right now!) but not any longer for my GPS. I have a GPS that I use for hiking so I bought the software to run on the laptop. It works OK, but the computer had to sit on the dash to be usable and that put it much too far from the driver in our class A motorhome to be must use. I couldn't see it for the glare of the sun, it was difficult to hear and it slid all over as we traveled! The only practical way to make the thing work was to have my wife serve as operator, which she really did not like. When we tried to use it in our Honda CR-V, there was nowhere to put the thing that was at all visible to me and Pam did not want it on her lap! The result was that we tried it several times and the my wife went out and bought me a dedicated GPS that actually can be used by the driver.
