[talk-au] Making a laptop Into a Big-Screen GPS (cont.)

[Eraina and Richard jenkins]

I'm delighted with the replies to my plea for help.  The replies lead
me to ask two more questions:

1.	Where is there a tutorial/howto/whatever for Navit.  For me
it comes up with a blank screen ... and no maps.  I did attempt to
download some maps for SE Australia ... so, how do I proceed from this
point??

2.	At least two people suggested that an eeepc 701 would make a
great GPS using Navit.  I'd love to find a howto for this because I
have one sitting on my desk ... and I could do a simple PS to run it
off the car electrics.  Mine is the 4 meg model ... currently running
easy-peasy.


Thanks again for all your help.

Richard
