This is one great GPS software on PC that was tested by me. It was the Garmin Mobile PC. Maintaining its easy to use interface, the Garmin Mobile PC can be use together with a laptop attach with Sierra Wireless 881U USB GPS for road navigation. Please ensure you have your partner holding the laptop and do concentrate on the road ahead of you. This software also comes with voice navigation.

3. Go to Tools-> Display GPS
4. On the GPS Monitor window, click the Play button to start tracking and locking to your location. Make sure you have clear sky above you.
5. Wait for the signal bar to turn from red, to yellow, then green, meaning it successfully locked the satellites. If failed, try again until you have the location fixed.
