Suggestions for a Tablet PC/GPS combo system

| I am looking for suggestions for a Tablet PC/GPS system to do some
field work. I am looking to load topographic maps to aid in
navigation. Also I want the PC to take my notes on. I want to plumb
in a GPS system so fix my location. As I will be using this both in a
vehicle while driving I would want to be able to hookup an external
antennae. Yet when out of the vehicle, I would want a smaller
antennae.
Any suggestions on what components to use for such a system?

Bart,
* To get suggestions on which TabletPC to buy, visit www.gottabemobile.com
* I don't have much experience with Topo software (perhaps look at the
DeLorme product)
* Road navigation TabletPC / Laptop GPS software is listed and reviewed at
http://www.laptopgpsworld.com/pc-gp...ms-reviews.html
* GPS receiver suggestions would include the following two:
