    DriversDailyLog (www.driversdailylog.com) does ALL that for less than 1/3 what Truckers Helper wants.
    DDL even now has a "GPS" plug-in that notes your stops using GPS

    I did check out DDL, but it is not plug and play GPS integrated. Here is a direct quote from the site.

    "This is not yet, an official 'feature' of DDL. User must be an advance computer user, as no support is available. This GPS add on program will only work with the Full version of Drivers Daily Log. (DDL)"

    I cant do any of that.......nor do I have the desire. I am old school computer saavy.

    Can you log with Nautilus InCab? It's not really clear on whether it offers a printable log format or not.

    Hey good news! I finally fixed my laptop that I thought was gone forever. Took a while to get a factory restore image from Fujitsu. Here are the specs:
    Fujitsu Lifebook C-2010 Intel P4 1.6Ghz 256MB ram 17GB hard drive.
    In 01' it was pretty slick. But for what I need, It'll work. I need to add more RAM and maybe get an external HD. Im sure I'll have to update everything too. All I will be running is probably MS streets and trips, looks like DDL, and somewhere down the road broadband. Only other uses will be to watch dvd's and use mp3 player.
