Add GPS in your Viewsonic G-Tablet and test your soldering skills

In case you picked up a type of G-Tablets , but are actually plagued by buyer’s remorse after realizing how much you miss GPS, there is a solution — provided you will have a powerful DIY streak. It seems Viewsonic set space aside at the Froyo-powered slate’s motherboard to position a GPS receiver. After all , if you happen to actually have to invite what flux is or what SMD stands for this isn’t the hack for you. And while apps that depend on 3G, similar to Google Maps, won’t work properly, offline navigators like Navigon and CoPilot must be just fine. When you are comfortable tearing open your device and poking at it with a hot iron, hit up the source link for an entire list of parts and a few very detailed instructions… or, you’re able to just buy a tablet that already has GPS.
