    How do I use or find the GPS on this laptop? Thanks

    I would like to install Windows 7 also, but that is beyond my capabilities. With Windows 7 do all the same functions work, hotkeys, touchscreen, front panel, etc. Thanks again.

    Be sure that your baud is at 4800 and you have the correct com port selected (for me it's COM3). My CF-30 aquires sats INSTANTLY (Even inside my HEAVY/THICK concrete 15th floor apartment)

    Thanks

    15 floors up... the whole building is made of concrete!! 10" thick concrete per floor! Trust me, it's like a mini bunker (and yes, I CAN (and will if need be) go down 2 stories down underground for zero reception on everything that is ALSO surrounded by 12" thick concrete...
