LAPTOP GPS NAVIGATION
FOR
AUTOMOBILE & MARINE USE
A laptop GPS navigation system for automotive or marine
use provides the advantage of a larger display than is offered
by handheld GPS receivers and also allows the option of feeding
GPS location data into mapping software that can display detail,
which cannot be downloaded into a GPS receiver.

GPS receivers can be used to connect to a laptop and can also
be used as a stand-alone GPS receiver for occasions when you do
not wish to be tied to your laptop.*
•
Non-display models: A number of GPS receivers without a
display of their own can also be used to provide GPS data to your
laptop application. Our range includes models that will feed GPS
data into a laptop via a serial port or USB port and Bluetooth
enabled models.

be used as a sensor, i.e., eXplorist 100, 200, 300.

• Moving Map Software is available that can display detail
on a laptop and can also accept real-time location input from a GPS to show your
position as you move.

MapSend programs can be used as a Moving Map Display as
well as allowing download of map detail to compatible GARMIN and
Magellan GPS receivers.

third-party GPS receivers that are NMEA compatible.

detail on a laptop then a program such as OziExplorer

with digital mapping products such as those offered by Spectrum
Digital Imaging or Fugawi
could be the answer.

your own specialized GPS application software.
