Hello, I have the Novatel U720 taken apart and inside my Aspire one d250 as a normal PCI-e mini card. Works great with my antenna mod. What I want to do is use the GPS features of this card though. I tried a few ports and using Google maps, but it all failed. In Windows I can use Mappoint and the card fine. Is there alternitives for road mapping in Linux? Also, can someon help me get the GPS to connect to these programs? Roadnav is currently installed.

Yes, thank you, I dont need software.

I need the built in GPS of my built in Novatel U720 WWAN card on Sprint's network to output GPS into Roadnav. Thats not one of the 9790 results listed.

I have the same problem. I need to figure out how to activate and access the gps on my sprint S720. If you figure anything out please let me know.

ps. I would like to apologize for IcarusR's response. It is discouraging when people respond like that.
