What ports does the laptop have? There are still GPS units available that connect to serial ports, but I'd go for a USB connected one if the laptop has a USB port. That way the laptop can power the GPS. Anyways I'd just get a cheap display-less GPS for use with the laptop. Should cost less than $90 for it and a cigarette lighter power cord if needed. Save the GPS's batteries for remote use.
