To be honest, I haven't had too much time to get the wireless LAN connection working. I did try it but I think the garage is a little to far from my access point. I'll probably need a signal booster or something.

I can't remember what the GPS receiver is but I'll see if I can find out. I removed it from the case and mounted it inside the dash. For software, I'm using iGuidance 2 which, with a couple tweaks, is pefect for touchscreen use.
