my new laptop! its just right.

i havnt got the natmaps, mine are scanned from original topo maps, found on ebay years ago. i only load the maps i require to my sd card, not the whole lot.
try only loading one map (current position) to eeepc and see if it makes any difference?

im working on having all of my maps on several sd cards so i can swap between one or another if needed.

cheers phil

I dont have the bits to put stuff onto sd cards, so, if I get an eee 901,
can I put maps and stuff onto 2 or 4 gig message sticks and plug them into the usb ?
With the 901, for use at home, can an external hardrive be plugged in for extra storage ?
Can an external cd player be plugged in or would I need to put the cd contents onto a message stick ?
Can a wireless mouse be plugged into the usb when working at home ?

A few questions, I know, sorry. I will probably buy a 901 this coming week.
I also want to use it with the Faultmate MSV 2 diagnostic software,
besides using it for an in car GPS.
Thanks.

PS: They are cute looking little things aren't they.

Can an external cd player be plugged in or would I need to put the cd contents onto a message stick ?you can buy a usb cd/dvd drive, or you can copy any file to the usb stick or the external drive then copy it to the 901. this is what ive done.
Can a wireless mouse be plugged into the usb when working at home ?
