Sure if a moving map is all you are after then they should work. I've tried OziExplorer with Raster 250K and it wasn't really all that acurate.

Wasn't able to get Mapsend working, I thought you needed the magellan gps?

Forget about using Garmin Mapsource!

I'm currently playing around with Magellan Navigator on a 466mhz laptop, it's a little slow but other then that it seems to work. It's not very well designed though and seeing there are not too many other options I think i'll have to live with it for awhile longer. I'm yet to try it on the carpc which is faster then the laptop.

With the gps I picked mine up from ebay for $90 delivered from singapore. It's USB and works fine.
