I bought a MIO 168 Pocket OC running Windows CE with the intent of
using it with one of the movingmap/nav software packages. It has a
beautiful, high-resolution display in subdued ambient light but
completely washes-out and becomes unreadable in sunlight. I allowed
myself to be fooled by the various "product reviews" wherein the
reviewer apparently failed to get off his butt and actually go outside
and use it. Try before you buy! YMMV.

Jim, I like some of the PDA based nav software (TeleType, Control

but can't live with the tiny little screens on a PDA. And a nice

J.C. Whitney sells a Pyramid 7" TFT/LCD monitor for DVD or

Videocassette
players (System: NTSC. Video input: composition video signal.)

$150.
Will this kind of monitor work with a cheap laptop computer?

Thanks.
