GPS mouse for hiring ?
 
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??

it's okay as long as we stay away from the capital, Brussels, there GPS really screws up:)
