[airsonix]

Hi there.
May i ask you wich best gps is adviced with
a compaq 2550 laptop with orinoco gold abg pcmcia and netstumbler?
What should i buy?

Well what GPS also depends on a few other factors.

First is how you are mounting it and its' gender?

Another big factor is the type of transport, its' age, color, and possibly gender as well.

I suggest doing a search of the forums, reading the FAQ, and possibly figuring out what WiGLE is for.

I didn’t found so much reading about GPS on the forum by searching.
But the problem is not the GPS its self , but that where i leave in Israel,
there is no navigation software for PC for streets, but only TERRAIN navigation, so i want be able to point AP's coordinates.

If i could connect for example a Mio to my laptop and by it to point the AP's coordinate it would be great or any other idea.

Any suggestions or idea?
Be kind, please help me.

Sincerely
Yours AirSonix

in general, nearly any GPS that has NMEA output (which about all of them) should work. you need to take into consideration on how it will physically connect to your laptop/PC (USB, bluetooth, serial port).

it sounds more like you are needing mapping software, not wardriving software. you mentioned Netstumbler, which indicates you are using Windows. others here may be able to suggest mapping software that will cover Israel for you. i use http://gpsdrive.kraftvoll.at/ for mapping. it can use international maps to a point, but i do not know about Israel. it does support NASA satellite maps, but i haven't tried that. it doesn't run under Windows, only Linux.

there may be some commercial navigation solutions for Israel.
