Windysurfer gave me a Fortuna U2 USB GPS receiver
unfortunately I can't get it to work with my laptop running XP sp3
if anyone has a simpler earlier system and wants to try it out they are welcome to have a go, it may be that the unit doesn't work or it maybe a software/hardware issue I just don't know but I spent a bit of time failing to get it to work so I ended up buying a new one from ebay and that works fine, so hopefully no more silly bluetooth errors and losing contact suddenly in future.

Worked fine last time I used it.Was a while ago though
Also found a demo program for it which helps setting it up should you struggle

Fingers crossed I can get it to work on my Linux laptop for our travels later this year.
I'll Paypal you in the morning for the postage Aidan.
