GPS mouse for hiring ?

17th August 2004, 09:56

I am going on holiday from 30/08 till 05/09.
Is there someone living around Aalst from whom I can use a GPS mouse with a laptop connection?
I will pay something like 25€, and return the mouse after my holiday.

Thanks in advance.

what is a GPS mouse?

A GPS-mouse is a device you need for your laptop or PDA so you can navigate with TomTom across any country with your car.
There are also GPS-devices using Bluetooth or Compact Flash
A GPS-mouse is a GPS-device which is wired.

Perhaps I will have soon a PDA with GPS (a gift).
Thanks Sharpside for the link, but if there would be someone so nice to let me use his GPS-mouse for a week (from 30/8 till 05/09)
I would be very happy.

You need map too. Without map, it will be the tracking function.

I use a hand held GPS for 5 years; which could be hooked up to PDA or Laptop.

I own TomTom navigator 2. So software is no problem.
Since I will get in the future a PDA (and don't know which brand) I can't buy a GPS-device because the connections can differ.
Therefore only for this holiday, I would like to use / hire one.

Understand.

I have been using Garmin eMap for 5 years; before this I used another hand held from Garmin which was water proof for outdoor.

With 16 MB ram, most large city map could be stored (up/down loads). It hooks up to any laptop using USB port.

How is the satellite signals reception in your area??
