Cheap GPS/MS Streets & Trips info

You can use MS S&T with a GPS receiver.  See the MS site or "google" it.
 I recently bought the 2005 MS S&T and chose the software only option, since I already had a Garmin.  They also have S&T with GPS receiver for $120 or so and the GPS receiver can be bought separately for about $75.  I/my eyes would like GPS with the 15" screen; I will order the receiver option when I figure how to handle the laptop on the road. Total cost under $150.

Just for other's info, I got a co-pilot GPS for laptop last year, & the maps for finding streets are VERY inaccurate.  I like the big screen though on my HP, BUT it's taking a few falls, being perched upon an ice chest with one of those rubber-type pads to help  it not slide.  Not good for the PC, but what's a non-handywoman to do! Does anybody have a solution (not the guy with the really nice one he built!:)  )  Hmmm, maybe a wood box with those TV grips or something.  Any ideas on this?

Streets & Trips would be much more accurate I'm sure, than co- Pilot.  So I'm glad I know that now!

Wow!  A bungee!  Why didn't I think of that!  Bungees & duct tape...together they can rule the world! ;)
