Ted,

The DeLorme Earthmate GPS system used with DeLorme Street Atlas 2005
Delux will allow you to do exactly what you are looking for. It will
provide driving directions based on a lat/long entry, updated on the
crews current GPS position and will give voice commands and respond to
voice commands as well. For $129.95 you get the GPS and Street Atlas
with USB interface to your laptop. $159.95 gets you the same stuff with
a serial interface. My wife and I have been using it for several years
now and love it - and no ... I don't work for DeLorme.

I need to get something like that for me and crew to use (PC based),
with the additional feature that after giving it a latitude/longitude
destination, it will give you driving directions, dynamically, based

on
your current GPS position (as opposed to a set of static directions
that end with "Rotsa Ruck").
