    Hi, I'm after some advice. I have a cf-19 mk2 and i woulod like to add gps and wwan to it, I have seen the cards that you can buy that do both, but how do they work? I have seen 2 different cards: 1) A sierra wireless MC7700 that does 3g/4gLTE and gps, this has a seperate gps connector for an antenna on the board, is this compatible? 2) A sierra MC8775 that does 3g and gps, this only has a main and aux connector on the board, is this compatible? If both will work would someone mind explaining how one works with just two connections whereas the other has 3?

    Many Thanks
    Josh

    Do you mean a completely external GPS if so I already have one, I'd just like the feature built in if I can get a card to do it for a reasonable price

    I am pretty sure it will, but you can send a Ebay message to the seller...They are a large and reputable Toughbook dealer..I have dealt with them in the past...
