I am using the Asus EEE PC 701 with Windows XP installed for the OBDC on my 2002, 3 series BMW, and to maximise the EEE I wanted onboard navigator.
The GPS receiver is GLOBALSAT BU353 SIRFSTAR III USB GPS RECEIVER, bundle with PC Navigator 8 from Easydevices.co.uk
The receiver has its own software (GPSinfo) and after installation the receiver plugged in to the USB port, and soon found the available satallites displayed on the GPSinfo software.
Next I installed the PC Navigator 8 software. I was please to find the package easy to use, and was soon on the road testing the setup, which worked seamlessly. All the software and hardware are all very capable. The large 7 inch display of the EEE is more than adequate.
Only caution I might say , is check the route planned for you by PC Navigator as it will take to shortist route it can find.
The PC Navigator software come with maps for UK Ireland and Europe. And a lady that speaks very patiently to you.
