netbook pro - gps

[richardo]

Hi,

I have just orderded my netbook pro. Does anyone know if there is any GPS-program working with this unit/OS and is there any sea map program that you may recommend so that I do not lose my way on the sea?

If so, what kind of extermal equipement is needed?

TomTom ( www.tomtom.com ) do a GPS unit and software for Pocket PC, this is land bassed mapping but it does mean that Pocket PC (and presumablly WinCE.Net) has a GPS solution. As for sea bassed navigation, there were applications written for the Psion Series 5 so I would expect there to be ones for the Pocket PC, however, that does not meen they will work under WinCE.Net.
