yes, but....

Yes, but I'm going to mount the entire pda on my dash, and don't plan on using gps with my laptop pretty much at all, as my primary intention for getting gps at all is helping me navigate the confusing city of san diego. I think if it's mounted on my dash, (about center console, where the vents are aproximately) something like the navman might work out pretty well, with a good signal and all that preferably. I think it may be illegal to mount a screen right there, but I'll do what people do with radar detectors here in california, and turn it off if I get pulled over. =)
Also, it seems like it'd be more difficult to put that rig together, and get it configured properly. Now I am fairly technically literate, but I like the kiss idea of not making things any more complicated than they have to be, as the more complicated it gets the more things can go wrong with it. I was mostly wondering if the gps part of ministumbler would work using either the navman or the pharos systems. It seems pretty specific as far as wifi cards go, so I figured it might be the same for gps, or have they standardized that yet? just a few thoughts... once again, thanks for any replies. -MrNfector
