FridgeFreezer Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Looks neat Rogue. Is the laptop screen supported? If not the hinges will take a battering, and they don't like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROGUE TROOPER Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yep the screen is held via a clamp and bungies (not shown in photo) When I get round to it I will take a picture.... Set up has been nicked from the old LRE forum (I think it was Mark90) Laptop = Compaq Presario 1690 (bought for £100) GPS = Garmin etrex Legend (about £150) Power supply = Vanson ciggy Adapter from Maplin (about £20) Software = Fugawi 1:50,000 (free from a mate (cough!) and updates downloaded free from Fugawi website) Im using the std GPS to Laptop lead but will buy a USB lead soon as it saves batteries in the GPS. Thats it realy, works a treat BTW: I bought the water resistant GPS so I could mount it outside if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltwt1981 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Looks very similar to mine, I used a wall mount and adapted it so I get some swivel for the navigator if I have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
