    I own a CF-19QJREX2M MK3 the Q is the designation of U.S. Air Force. This unit was original/unaltered. I added a fingerprint scanner and the original GPS unit LR95485
    After adding the Microsoft Maps and Trips 2013 and Windows 10. I could not get the Gps to function.
    here is how I got the Microsoft Map and Trips working. using my android phone connected to my CF-19 thru Bluetooth connection.
    my phone is running a small app the cost was $0.99 is called "Bluetooth GPS Output"
    www. meowsbox.com
    with the phone app running within 30 feet of the laptop I am getting 20 sat connection even indoors

    So you are using your phones gps and not the CF19's?
    The phone sends gps data to the CF19.

    I forget exactly what settings I needed to change, but I have a stock gps in my CF 19 mk6 Win 10 running the built in mapping and navigation program. It works directly without needing my phone.

    It is called a location sensor maybe. It needs to be enabled for Win 10 to use the gps module.
