Take a look at this link: MC8780 / Aircard 880U GPS from Oz forum whirlpool.net. - Can confirm that the GPS function is fully functionional - Works OK :thumbs-UP:
T60F: (Integrated Intel GPU) - [Another T60 FrankenPad!...Different approach]
R60F: (Integrated Intel GPU) - [ThinkPad R60 15.0" FrankenPad]

Thanks so much Peak2Peak! Finally got my MC8780's GPS function working! The accuracy rivals my Garmin Car GPS, It's amazing.

Plus the GPS works inside a XP vmware session running ontop of a Linux Host.

How good is that !

Now my X301 is ready to go anywhere :)
