A USB GPS Receiver, loads on ebay. Personally I want to see if it's possible to get a handheld GPS device for walking but also see if it will plug in to a laptop as well but then again I want a lot thing's I know that I wont get.

As stated you need a USB GPS device or Bluetooth GPS device if your laptop supports it.
