    Solved Surface 3 LTE GPS

    Hi Sharpcolorado It's disappointing that Windows won't work though I expect (hope??) that one day it will. In the meantime yours is a is a wise and pragmatic solution and I'll probably have a go with it as you suggest. I have only a limited amount of hair and I can't afford to tear it all...

    Hi Sharpcolorado and Leeshor Thanks again for trying to help resolve this problem. I tried both QStarz and GM with tracker and unfortunately neither worked. They were both completely dead - no specific error messages (except with GM with tracker when I tried to use the iQue M5 Built-in...
