it depends
Which software package is better depends on what you want to do with it... If you want powerful but complicated DeLorme Street Atlas is excellent (since you said you're using a laptop and presumably not trying to cram it onto a 7 inch screen.) If you want simple and effective, iGuidance works very well. If you're too cheap to buy anything else MS Streets & Trips is your choice...

If they have NEMA output, yes. Most GPS recieveres produce NEMA output.
