I have a Laptop and a USB road angel - What else do I need? Obviously software and a cable, but how can i get voice direction? the laptop has a sound card and built in speakers, but you caouldn't hear them when the car is running.
Anyone any Ideas?

laptops normally have headphone exits - you could connect an active speaker there

I was hoping to find a way to set it up with my stereo. Also, what is a cheap and cheerful program with voice prompts?

you can us a FM transmitter for that if you like...

program offerings vary depending on where you are located. Maybe you can update your signature?

your head unit has to have an aux input. If it does get a 3.5mm to phono lead and that is what you need to link ur head unit to headphone socket on your laptop. Some manufactures are easier to do that others. Pioneer being the most expensive.
