whether you had your eye on the Dell Mini 9 but were holding off considering it restricted no internal GPS receiver you no longer have an excuse. Thanks to Tom you can now add your own GPS receiver with A-GPS support to your Dell Mini 9. You’ll have to spend some additional cash on the receiver (only $30), and have a quite a bit of soldering skills we’re guessing. And of course some free date.

…I next started moving the Bluetooth adapter and removing the old mounting provisions for it, since they were now in

the way. There was ample room, but just barely. whether the GPS was another 2mm thick, it would not have fit. The GPS completely fills the space amidst the Bluetooth adapter and trackpad. There is a lot more space on the bottom of the laptop in the unused WWAN card area, but the GPS needs to be on top so that it has a view of the sky. A unit with a separate antenna may supply other mounting options, but I decided it would unnecessarily complicate things…
