Yes that is correct - if you have the Dell wireless 5530 HSPA mobile broadband mini card you also have a built in GPS.

Pic attached showing the Dell mini driver and the wireless app running, have tested with mapsphere and all worked fine tracked me without any problems.

So buy a Vodaphone dell mini 9 and get wireless access and GPS!!!

Nice! (BTW, its Vodafone )

I've been seriously tempted since they introduced that offer with the Mini 9 here... only thing I am worried about is reception of Vodafone isn't the best, but hopefully all the holes are plugged after they absorb 3 mobile!

I have not had a problem with reception, seems OK so far - I travel a bit and found no problems in Melbourne (Heatherton area).

Loving the size and lack of weight after the 9400 - have fitted my out with runcore 64gig SSD and 2 gig ram.
