Hi,
Can anyone recommend any satnav software for use on a pda or laptop?
Also is there any good gps receivers out there?

I use Tomtom on Symbian, or MS Autoroute on Windows. For offroad stuff
get a dedicated GPS handset, it's so much less pain.

For a plain GPS reciever, you want a SiRF III device for best
sensitivity. I got mine - bluetooth and I think USB connectivity -
from http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/search/?searchterm=sirf+

I use the no-brand one. Builtin battery lasts about two days before
needing recharging over the USB lead, lock-on in well under 30
seconds.

Cheers - Jaimie
