In car Navigation for Lap Top
Is there any software out there that will let your GPS/Laptop combination perform the same function as a dedicated in car SatNav system, i.e. audible directions?

Yes, There is a voice module for OziCE. I think there is something for oziexplorer as well.<br>

If you have any of the Garmin software that allows for auto routing eg City Nav ver 4 or 5, a gps, laptop and cabling then you can d/l this programme from Garmin website called nRoute. This will emulate all the functions of the Street Pilot 3 GPS except for the touchscreen.
I have been using this programme for a while now and it is fantastic

Destinator 3 does this, but has a price tag to match. I am still to test it out, as i only just got my laptop and GPS mouse is in the mail off ebay, but all reports that i have read from mp3car.com are good. It does all the voice stuff, as well as rerouting on the fly.
will let you know how it goes.
