In fact I'll looking into buying MacENC for exactly this use.
I used to own an Asus EeePC 701 4G with 7" screen running Windows XP ("nlite"d down in size).
I ran some of the software, and stored all the maps on a 8GB SD Card (Class 6 Spec)
Besides the typical Thunderbird (email), Firefox (web) and Openoffice...I ran Garmin Mapsource, Garmin nRoute (road nav) and google earth on it.
It was perfect for sitting in a bar, connected to wifi, while checking weather forecasts and using google maps to look at sat photos of the next destination.
It was also handy for driving around and viewing recently taken photos too.
The only issues were the small keyboard and 800x600 resolution.
I bought a Dell Mini 9 to solve those issues and is still small enough to carry like a hardcover book.
After using it with XP I decided to buy a copy of Leopard so I would have the same operating system on it as my macmini.
Re
creen sizing
You can in fact specifically scale any app's display in Leopard or you can scale the everything.
I'm downloading MacENC demo right now.
I assume I need to download Mr Tides 3 Rel 16 ?
I'll test it and post a how-to if i can get it to scale.
Cheers
