m11x-gps anyone?

I tried asking this in the 11x posts, but they get shuffled to fast.

Has anybody bought the laptop with the WAN with the gps? Can the gps be used without the wan? Meaning, can I use the GPS with MS Streets and such? Or only if I buy wireless att/etc connection?

 

You mean nobody bought it with this option yet?

 

i dont have the wwan option, but i bought sierra 881u usbconnect and manage to get gps with it. i tried to get gps without internet and it work. i use garmin mobilepc for gps.

 

how about a video

 

If your map program already has all the maps pre loaded and and GPS is a true gps then you shouldn't need to use a wireless connections.

For example, in my iphone I can still get gps coordinates through an app I use with the sim card out, however since the maps need to be loaded through google I can't see my location on the map.

 

I have WWAN + GPS.

Without activating the WWAN (AT&T), I am able to go to Google maps and track my location (there's a dot that appears underneath the zoom bar that allows me to check my current location).

 

Thanks! I was wondering if it would be good to order it or not. Does the signal pickup well? I hope better than the one in my cellphone.

Being I would use this laptop on the go, this would be a good feature. then I wouldn't get lost when I goto the mainland. Yet have a map big enough to see.

 

there is no audio out or in if u plan to use ur laptop as cell phone.
but u can see incoming call and make outgoing call.. at least with my att 881u card

 

@velglarn, can i know how did you manage your gps working on your m11x? i just personally installed mine and so i am just using one aerial of my wlan to the main of my wwan card, do you think it somehow affect my gps signal?
