I'm using a Garmin etrex Legend handheld with the Garmin mapsource software on
my laptop. I have a dash mount in all three trucks and when on long trips, the
12V Y cable I have plugs into the cigarette lighter, the GPS and the laptop
serial port simultaneously so I can use the laptop as a large color display. I
also have the handle bar mount to use the GPS on my mountain bike. I bought it
at Target last year for $100 for the GPS and another $100 for the software.
The 12V Y cable I got on eBay for $15. It works great.
