    This is a GSM card I take it (to use with ATT, Tmobile or any other GSM provider?)

    Where do the GPS antennas go? (I only see the two for the WWAN)

    Thanks

    There is the main and the aux. I suppose you could connect the gps antenna to either of the two and the wwan to the other. Are the frequencies very different? I think the same antenna would work for both as in cell phones and such. This only had one antenna connected to it when I got it. I rigged an external cell antenna to the main terminal and it picked up the cell tower and satellites for the gps.
    Yes it is a GSM card. T-mobile is the sim card I used on it to test it out.

    Thanks
