Never thought about this before, but is it possible to convert the following into a working GPS ?

1. Asus 7" laptop running XP with car power adaptor.
2. Bluetooth adaptor.
3. GPS external adaptor.

What satnav software would be required?

Yes , I have my EeePC 1000H [XP] running MS Autoroute with a USB GPS reciever .Working great . I dont have a car charger for it though.
I have also installed a program for testing on another laptop called Eartha .This is a full map of the world to run with a GPS module and is for tracking a route anywhere in the world when on a flying ,car or boat journey .It doesn't have full zooming in capabilities on minor or A roads like a TT satnav , but is still quite a good program.

Nice.

What bluetooth software are you using ?

Also, are any of the free pc satnav softwares any good ?

I'm not using anything with BT , no hardware , no software.
I use a USB GPS reciever with a sirfstar III chip .
I've never used any free satnav software .I cannot think of any other satnav software either , do you know of any ?
