Can anyone guess where we are?

Not at home.

Not at work.

And not in a pub/internet cafe.

thats looks pretty gd, do you use it at all for navigation, got a pretty big screen for a gps, what do you do about waterproofing? or is it a case of using it when your going less than 10knts

It was only for last night, I needed to be able to check something while I was out. It was either take my laptop and go out on boat, or stay at home and wait

My little Laptop is worth too much to take out on the boat as a permanent fixture
