Thank you for your concern but it is quite a small and light laptop being one of the Asus EEE-701 laptops, it is easy to carry around in one hand.
It's small size combined with a HSDPA modem and the GPS receiver should make it a powerful tool surely? This is why I would like to have it work.

Hello everyone, I am new to all this but I am really excited about getting started on it all but I have questions that I need help with if that's not too much trouble.
I don't have a handheld GPS unit, I have a bluetooth GPS receiver for computers, It did not come with software and I am a little lost as to what software I need. This is the one I have, is it usable?
Preferably I think I would like software that will show my location on a map and allow me to set waypoints, this is what I need to Geocache yes?
I'm sorry I sound like a complete idiot but I just need a helping hand to get going and then I'm sure it'll be fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Edit - Sorry, I forgot to say that my laptop is running XP pro. That is important ;p

Yes I can connect it to my Eee pc, I am quite an avid modder of computers, It originally ran on Linux as they all did at release but I replaced it with XP pro SP2 and now SP3 and have Overclocked the CPU to 900mhz (By flashing the BIOS to a beta version that was cut before the 701 was released, it unlocked all the available multipliers), installed 2gb of 667mhz RAM, an internal bluetooth dongle, a touchscreen, an N1 class wireless receiver instead of the G and an internal HSDPA modem.. though when you think about it those are all basic mods really. As you can see it is quite a capable little machine.
Check out the forums here for great resources about it all.
Thank you very much for the recommendation of OziExplorer, I will definitely take a good look at it.
