I have access to a few Mil-Spec tablet PC's. Anyone know if there is a way
to convert one to use as a GPS chartplotter?
I currently have a small Garmin unit and would love to utilize the larger
screen of the tablet PC.

What does it use for an operating system? Does it have CF capability
or optional card slots - stuff like that?

Has XP on it but I'm not sure of the MHz or ram. I figure if it could run
XP it should be able to run whatever software I need for the GPS

I also has PCMCIA 2 slots and comes with a PCMCIA to CF adapter card.


This is one receiver that I know works very well - I know a few folks
who use them with PocketPCs and regular tablet PCs.

It really depends on software also. The people I know with that
Fortuna receiver, use Maptech software.

This is a resource page I used a while ago when I was thinking of
using a PDA as a portable GPS.
