I already own the MAPTECH chart book with CD. I use this for
navigation .. I should buy a GPS but I am a cheapo.

The MAPTECH program says it will work with a Garmin GPS and computer (
laytop ).

I guess the setup is the same ..
1. laptop
2. GPS, Garmin
3. Plug them into each other
4. The GPS is the reciever
5. The MAPTECH charts are the chart, guide, map.

So, get a cheap GPS and a cheap Laptop ,,

Still not a bad deal.


Sure, that's all you need.

Get a USB GPS on eBay for less than $50 and a Pentium 3 laptop for less than
$300.
