I'd like one for my laptop for an application I'm working on. I've seen a couple on the web but I'd like the opinion of the experts here :approve:

For the record, I already have a Dell BT GPS and my laptop has BT built-in. While the BT GPS has its own battery and is a good solution from that perspective, it's also just another detached object I need to carry around as well as charge (and maybe lose somewhere). A PCMCIA GPS goes in the slot and stays there, so I guess convenience is a large factor in my purchasing decision, as I'm writing software for some non tech-savvy sales folks who will be in the field with this equipment.

I don't remember any specific pcmcia GPS card but do know the Globalsat CF card came with an adapter and does work on laptops....

Unless things have changed a lot I know I had to use an external antenna when using a GPS CF card in my laptop since it was usually sitting on the passenger seat. So if you have to carry around an external antenna with a 5 foot cord a bluetooth mouse would seem to be simpler.

Uhh.. He has a BT one?
He wants a PCMCIA one for testing? And yes, If he purchases an older card he may need an external antenna....
