← Enable the GPS on Your X301
One of the big things that I nerded out over when purchasing my Thinkpad X301 was its integrated broadband modem (an Ericsson F3507G) and its bundled GPS sensor.
I know that Windows 7 was going to have built-in location sensors by default, and I was hoping to enable this. Sadly the drivers weren’t there for either of these devices.
Luckily, Jack (author of the link) has just found out that there are new drivers which both enable the modem as a native networking device, but also enable the GPS device as a native win7 location sensor!
Between this and the recently-featured-on-Lifehacker Geosense, I think I’ll be writing a little widget and an app or two using the win7 location platform. Super cool.
