I have a CF-30 Mk3 with Win7 that doesn't have GPS and a Mk1 parts-machine that does. So I can...
1. Move the factory GPS from the Mk1 to the Mk3.
2. Purchase an after-market one on eBay from "custom-toughbooks" ( GPS Kit for Panasonic Toughbook CF 30 Aftermarket DIY Ublox 6 | eBay )
3. Purchase an after-market one on eBay from "techtuff" ( New GPS Kit Panasonic Toughbook CF 30 Laptop MS Streets Trips Works Ublox 6 | eBay )
4. Something else you might recommend.

I've read the posts here and some like one, some like the other after-market products - but couldn't find any post that compared the two.

Thanks in advance.

yes you can swap the gps from mk1 to mk3

i have dealt with custom toughbooks (Andre) he's a good guy with good products.

I personally custom modded a ublox into my cf30 mk2. Works great, but mine was not plug and play.
