i got my gps dongle from maplins has worked a treat on my notebook , as to damage to hard drives i have not had any problems made a bracket/mount for it and lined the base with foam rubber to cushion it against bumps

A proper bracket will definitely improve things. We used to fit similar mounts and ruggedised laptops into mobile engineers vans and they seemed to survive (until they got nicked anyway).

From the picture, that laptop display looks great for navigation - I tended to use my GPS stuff (smaller screen as PDA) for tracking routes - I just found it quicker to mark up a paper map to get lost by.

i have a hp pda with MM on it too but find with my old eyes its very hard to see it properly

the notebook gives a broader picture on close up as you see and now its on the dash instead of the middle seat i dont drive into ditches whilst looking at it
