With a handheld GPS, like any Garmin unit for example, if using some
technique, could it be possible to connect the GPS to a laptop, like a
MacBook, so you could view what you are seeing on your handheld also on
your laptop, especially while you are moving?

Sure, you can use any display size that will fit in your aircraft. I
doubt that a notebook will be usable because it takes twice as much
space (for the useless keyboard).

All you need is a software that is compatible with the platform of
your choice. XCSoar (the one I help develop) runs (among others) on
both your MacBook and any Android tablet (the latter is what I would
suggest). ButterFly iGlide may run on the iPad.

The other programs don't run on modern hardware, Windows Mobile only,
and afaik there are no large Windows Mobile tablets. WinPilot seems
to be stuck at "there will be an iPad version later this year", for a
few years already.
