Which GPS?

I want to integrate a GPS system into my carputer. I need to know what you guys recommend that I get for my computer. Let me know which GPS system is the best and where I could get one. I really dont know what I need exactly so let me know all the pieces I need to complete my GPS system. I searched in ebay and I found some GPS mouses; is this all I need to complete the GPS system and some software? Also what software is the best and easy to read, and if there are any with voice activated directions. Thanks for all your help in advance.

you can use the ebay mouse off of ebay, and download/buy a copy of one of the gps software available and you are all set; you may also want to integrate a microphone if you havent done so already so you can talk to the gps software...

I use a Rayming TripNav USB. It was $140 CDN. USB means no seperate power cable. Sirf chipset, waterproof, magnetic/felt bottom. I can't compare it to other GPS devices, but it is able to aquire a lock from inside my house through the roof.
