    It is possible but a laptop, ur gps, ur power, ur convertor, ur screen, ur screens power... It'd be a nightmare. More dangerous that anything else n allot of hassle... Why not just get a sat nav unit... U'd be spending €200 ish for the screen for the laptop, u could get a sat nav system for a little more than that....

    Get a 12v power inverter if you need 220-240v power, 150w one available in Maplins at the mo, reduced a bit but can't remember price.
