    I have a cf19 that I use as a backup computer that has GPS. Can I swap the GPS components to my new to me cf30? Also, where is the GPS in the 19? I see on the side of it a small black square"box" mounted to the right side of the computer. This computer also has Verizon, so unsure if it is for the GPS or a cel part. Thanks

    This if for CF-30. So you'll have to buy at least antenna and that flat cable connected to lr9548s part :)

    one of the best and easiest ways to get gps in your '30 is to use one of the gps kits that comes with a ublox module and a custom cover boot .
    four thin wires run from the lid to where the usb connector for the old factory module connects .
    the new device will run circles around the factory unit .
    (i don't have the link handy ... they are sold on ebay)
