Re: external gps? will it allow me to use laptop for mapping?

Yes you can, I haven't discovered a way to do it natively though through windows. I use a program GPSGate. Its a great little program with many features. Just google it.

The idea behind it in this scenario is you will have the GPS going into your GPSGate program and then from there you can create a com port for your laptop to connect to, or even use it over bluetooth/wifi.

Its really neat, post if you need further help. Unfortunately the software is not free, but if you have a need/use for it, i think it is well worth it.
