    I am having a pigs ear of a time trying to get the GPS function to do what I think it should on this little netbook. I am trying to get the location software to show where I am via GPS and dont seem to be hitting the right buttons! Can anyone offer some useful info that might help me configure this please?

    To make GPS works, you should have SmartWi installed and running.
    You also have to turn WWAN on to be able to turn on GPS.
    Then you can use Street&Trip or Garmin Mobile PC.
    I am using Garmin Mobile PC with Windows 7.
    The only issue is satelite receiption is a it weak.
