Hello,
Can anyone recommend a GPS (puck type) that will work with a
netbook running Windows 7?
Best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I have been using a QSTARZ Travel Recorder XT (http://www.qstarz.com/Products/GPS%20Products/BT-Q1000XT-F.htm) with an HP Mini 110 Netbook and Windows XP. You can use it with a USB tether or with the built-in Bluetooth. I haven't tried it with Windows 7.

If you want to use it with APRS as well you can get one from Byonics and get an adapter for USB and split the signal. Byonics (http://www.byonics.com/tinytrak/gps.php)

Argent Data Systems also carries a number of different GPS pucks:

I have used equipment from both ArgentData and Byonics. I just figured with Byonics it is one stop for both pieces. They both use to have the Delou GPS until they disappeared.
