    Since owning my cf29, is still boggles the mind how I can briefly use it during the day at work, shut the cover to make it go into standby mode, and still have 29% charge left after eight hours.

    I downloaded the 14 day ms streets 2013 and no of no other pc based car navigation system that comes close for vancouver canada streets.

    I would like to buy a internal gps card kit for this laptop, but waiting for some needed cash to pay the 130.00 ? plus shipping. In the mean time, a sirfireIII gps reciver with cord would work.

    The issue is, where in the Vancouver, or Canada can I find some one that sells them? Even better, if it has a bluetooth transmitter on it, then wont need to deal with the cord.

    Who in British Columbia Canada would sell these gps receivers?

    Lastly, can a internal web access cdma card be installed inside the laptop?

    Thanks

    If you are in Vancouver, BC you are in luck! Find a post on this forum by "OHLIP", send him a PM and take it from there. You just happen to live within shouting distance of one of our top GPS guys.
