Hey guys, check this out. Microsoft's new software with real GPS navigator:

It's USB powered to your laptop so you could be driving anywhere using voice activated realtime GPS system. But here's the big question: are there any monthly charges for satellite air time to work with the GPS system? If there's no charge, but for the program itself, I'm ordering it right now online.
 
Why? If im going somewhere I take a map, they normally cost like 50 cents at any given gas station
 
Just to be high tech. It's like having a real GPS system in your car, but you are lugging a laptop around at the same time. It's like having internet in your car. I'm always going to a lot of places and I've been using Yahoo Maps for the past few years now. It would be so nice to have this technology in my car. But if I have to pay every month to get a satellite link-up just to use the GPS system, I rather stick with Yahoo.
