    We love the navi system we have in our new Accord. We will be towing our
    Accord behind our motorhome and traveling for a couple months. Being
    semi-computer literate I was wondering if there was a way to video out the
    infomation from the DVD navi sytem to a laptop we would have in our
    motorhome. Of course I could just use Streets and Trips and a GPS
    receiver but I thought I would see if anyone has ever done anything with
    their Navi and a laptop. Also does anyone know if that DVD software would
    work in a laptop hooked to a GPS receiver? I guess I can fiddle with it but
    thought I would ask you guys first. I was also kind of brainstorming and
    thinking maybe I could hook up some sort of speaker in the RV that would
    pickup the voice directions from the Navi. DonnaB

    Your desires are why I didn't buy the GPS system in my Accord. Street Atlas
    plus a gps cost around $100. You will have spent more than that before you
    are through doing what you propose here. Besides, your towed Accord's engine
    will not be charging the battery which must be used to run the Accord's gps
    system... Al

    Well my husband agrees with you. So much for my idea. However, I really
    love the Navi in the Accord in spite of the cost. But my husband says we
    can just use his GPS receiver with STREETS AND TRIPS in the RV AND BE DONE
    WITH IT. Thanks for your input. DonnaB
