This is interesting as I am one who takes my laptop with me to many places and will use it at Restaurants and/or in transit on BART, Car or Plane. But, I can't really see my laptop being used for GPS due the size and poor battery life in comparison to the BrailleNote PK or mPower. I guess that i have been spoiled with the portability of the BrailleNote PK as I find it cumbersome to even take the BrailleNote mPower out and use it with the GPS. I would be interested to hear about reasons for wanting the GPS on a Windows machine. I do agree that creating a long route, over 100 miles would be much faster on a laptop or desktop, but it would require that you create the route on the PC, remove the card from the BrailleNote, place it in a card reader, insert it into the Windows machine and copy over the route then reverse that process. I think that you would be looking at at least 5 minutes for that process, not counting the time it would take to create the route. I would rather just create the route on the PK and just let it do its thing.

I love the current product and i would not get rid of it but there are times when a laptop could prove really quite usefull. I get 4 hours out of mine usb headset and bluetooth keyboard and away i go. It would also be usefull if you could do your roots then port them to your Braillenote. I could go on and on but until there is a value for the company i will stop complainning lol.
