Thinkpads Forum

Hi all,

I've read almost every thread related to GPS on the forum, and am more puzzled than ever. While there are references to GPS in the X6x forum, I can't determine if it's even possible to have this functionality. So, a few questions...

1) Is GPS on the X6x even possible with existing Lenovo hardware?
2) If yes for #1, then what's required... hardware, software, updates?

TIA...

Hello

You are probably looking for a built-in GPS, to which I don't know the answer.

What I use is a bluetooth-connected GPS device (Holux m-241), with Garmin Mobile PC as the software. Be aware that the Garmin offering is a bit confusing: According to their website it appears that you have to purchase a GPS mouse from Garmin along with the software, otherwise it won't work.
However at least in stores in Switzerland there is also a DVD from Garmin with MobilePC on it (along with map material), which allows one to use any Bluetooth GPS device. This is what I have.
