Sat Nav to run on XP

Post by syncrodoug »

I've a mini ITX 'carputer' in my van - just wondering whether there's any Sat Nav software that will run under XP?

As Em says. Used this system in my van for a while. I've still got the usb satellite receiver on the roof of the van but I tend to use tomtom now.
The receiver is only about 1 inch by 2.5 inches in size, quite small!

I run Fugawi O-S maps powered by Memory maps GPs pc usb interface driver software and a Garmin E-trex gps usb reciever. This works fine on Vista, XP. And we have one laptop running Ubuntu with a programme from the internet and it works great. Must get it mounted in the dub, but Tom Tom is just too handy.

Slightly off topic, I would really like some more details about your carputer - in particular the power supply.
Can you give us a spec list?

Cheers.
