well, you can buy USB GPS receivers from ebay, the issue is finding software + maps.
For marine use, I would recommend something intended for the purpose, mate you don't want to run your boat up a reef because your laptop told you it was ok... Also, laptops crash, hard drives die, less reliable, not waterproof etc.
yer i no ive seen the ebay ones i was looking before....
and the software is mostly where im lost...
the maps most sea worth gpses use C-MAP
yer i no they die and so forth......and as for water proof that wont matter unless the wheel house starts leaking then weve got a problem haha
