How to use GPS service on the laptop?

Can we use GPS service by using the internet on the laptop?? For example just by installing the GPS software and that is it!
or my laptop needs some antennas as it has to pick the signal from GPS satellites.
If so, plz tell me which antennas I need so that I can make my laptop GPS enable.
Thanx in advance

A popular unit is BU-353 by GlobalSat. It is a combination of antenna and a GPS receiver.

It is designed to work with laptop computers. It connects to your laptop via USB. It requires no external power, as it takes the power from your computer. It is rather inexpensive, and it can be purchased usually for under $40 USD. There are other similar units on the market. You may find them by searching for: ‘usb gps receivers’.

Beside a receiver/antenna unit, you will also need GPS software. You may be able to purchase a package that includes PC GPS software and a compatible USB GPS unit. A popular trip planner and GPS navigation software for USA, Canada, and Mexico is Microsoft Streets and Trips:

The same software product exists with the European map data, and it is called Microsoft AutoRoute:
