Hi Guys,

I'm thinking of getting an asus eeepc very shortyly. They're only $299 at MSY with the linux distro.
I would like to take advantage of it's size for gps. Also, thinking of purchasing this bluetooth gps receiver from ebay: NEW 54 CHANNEL BLUETOOTH GPS RECEIVER PDA TOMTOM MOBILE - eBay, GPS, Electronics. (end time 02-Jul-08 03:33:37 AEST)
(Anyone here used this particular gps receiver? If so, what are your thoughts on this? )

My question is after I've installed xp on the eeepc what gps software could I use? I've heard of desinator and tomtom which i know work for windows mobile but would they work on xp? Would i need to install a windows mobile emulator or some sort to run these apps? Any help or recommendations would be appreciated. I'm total noob with gps but it's something that i would like to start playing with
