car computer

Yes i know ... But am fitting one in my truck as i need to use one for work now. am fitting a mini atx behind the seats Ive sorted power, monitor, key board, dongle even Skype . Its running windows 7 any ideas on a sat nav i can run on it and it has to be a good one full postcode jobby, Ive seen usb gps receivers, but most need wi-fi or 3g to help the software to get a good fix but that means topping up the dongle as it uses the data on it.

any ideas on pref cheap or even better free software

For route planning you will really need to buy a software package from the likes of Tomtom or Copilot to run true gps without wifi internet or data charges.
Google maps rely on wifi and gps as far as I know and thats only on enabled devices like mobile phones and tablets but know one will give it away for free sadly.

Remember we will not tolerate any links or advice to look for pirated software

Ive had a look at the mp3car and downloaded media engine i really like the lay out and the user controls but i still need a gps program to run in it

Ive got a copy of co pilot that came with a PDA its not the best sat nav around i found the post code is very hit and miss, am not after pirate software i just thought one of you lads and lasses may know of a decent one before i buy 1 and it being poop
