I just got this really interesting product -- Microsoft Streets and Trips 2005 with GPS. It has a Pharos GPS 360 with USB cable and the Microsoft Streets and Trips 2005 software that turns your laptop into a real time mapping and tracking device (it also works with MapPoint North America and Europe). I wish I had this on my recent trip to Europe. It would have saved some serious directional frustration.
The GPS unit (sitting on top of the box in the picture) is about 5cmx5cmx3cm(the box is standard DVD box for scale). Adaptors can be had to make it Compact Flash or Bluetooth compatible for use in Smartphones or Pocket PCs -- there is also software included in the package for those devices.
