    Hello Board:

    I did a clean W7 install on my MK1. It came with a GPS unit already installed, I am going to be using this notebook for lots of travel. So I have a couple of questions:

    Panasonic does not make a GPS software, can anyone recommend one?
    My GPS was made my cursor jump around, so I disabled in the BIOS. I uploaded the GPS patch for W7 and tried to install, but it errored out, is there anything else I should have installed?
    Last question, will the GPS need a WIFI card to work?

    Thank you

    To use the gps out side of the testing program look for the type of maping software you need. There are some free one out there and there are usually some older programs on ebay you can get.
