That would have been useful for me this last week when I took my family on
a 2000 mile (eight states) trip. Got lost twice -- somewhere in Missouri
near Jamesport and then around Dallas, Texas.

Here are some links:

http://gpspoint.dnsalias.net/gpspoint2/
http://gpsdrive.kraftvoll.at/
http://gpsd.berlios.de/ (see the applications that use it)
http://www.aac.uc.pt/~seabra/

Now I need to look to find what hardware is needed that I can plug into a
laptop (like PCMCIA or PCCARD) and where to get the free databases.
