GPS on a PCIe WWAN card

bonzodog2 · 2013-09-17 18:01:06

Does anybody here have experience of using GPS on a built-in 3G card for a laptop? I'm wondering if the GPS will work without a SIM connected

That'll depend on the kind of application you're using it for:

If you have map software saved on your computer, you should be able to get your location using the GPS, but if the maps are stored online, you will require an internet connection to see them (this could be through the 3G connection or through WiFi on the computer)

These devices are all different so it really does depend if the computer can do anything with your particular data card
