A mini laptop or notebook might work if I can get one cheap enough on
craigslist or someplace

Thank you. I forgot to mention that I am looking for something with no wifi,
phone signal etc. Basically just a gps radio and a stored map.

Hello,

I think pretty much every smartphone will make it, as long as you got
signal.
I've been using smartphones with Waze/Gmaps instead of my very old TomTom
GPS, it's better in every point; bigger screen, uptodate, other users can
make alerts in case of accidents, etc.
