I have an old Pentium 2 laptop which works fine.  I have mounted it on a board with door seal rubber around the base to take up the shocks from corrugations.  Make sure you cut a few gaps in the rubber so that the computer can breath or it will overheat.  I have also made a lid/screen support with velcro attached, because I found that the screen kept banging shut and it broke the hinges.  Almost any computer will do but one's with less than Pentium 2 are very slow in loading map images.

The best software that I can recommend to you is Oziexplorer and it's either available from their web site at http://www.oziexplorer.com/ or from the Chart and Map Shop in Collie St Fremantle.  Price $130 approx.

You will also require the latest 2 x CD set of NATMAPS 250,000:1 (530 Maps) again available from the above places.  Price $99 approx.

Once you have these you will need to download the 2 sets of configuration files (FREE) for CD1 & CD2 from the Oziexplorer web site on the Australian Page.

Please remember, DON'T rely solely on electronic navigation.  Have paper maps of the areas you intend to visit plus a compass and learn how to use them.

I have written a couple of navigation stories for Western 4WDriver magazine in editions 39 & 40 which may be of some assistance.  Back issues are available on line from http://www.western4wdriver.com.au or I can recommend a good book called "On Track" by Geoffrey Archer & Raymond Williams available from Chart and Map Shop in Collie St Fremantle.  I suggest you phone first re price and stock on (08) 9335 8665.

Hope this helps and have a great safe trip.

I trust that these help and shall look forward to meeting you out on a track.
