I think we're missing the boat here.
No, GPS software for your PDA will not work on your laptop. You need Windoze software on the laptop (assuming you run Windoze).
It's also likely that the GPS receiver iwll not work on the laptop and you'd need a USB or serial unit made for PC use.
You may be able to use teh PDA w/ GPS as a GPS receiver on the PC. I've never set this up, so I can't help with that.
GPS receivers are cheap (US$50 or so), though.
