I tried to use my GPS dongle with the Cube U30GT2 for some reason it will not function. The led comes on on the dongle but does not indicate the gps location. Is there an APP that will make this an operational Travel GPS or is the operation restricted to the ROM? This is one of the reasons I wanted a tablet is to use it for travel.

Use a Bluetooth GPS instead together with a free app 'Bluetooth GPS provider''.

I've got my old Adapt Bluetooth GPS unit working with it without problems.

Sometime when you are in the forest you can't see the trees. Thank you for the advice. I never saw this BT GPS till you said something about it. I wonder how many other things I am missing.

I mate, have you seen my thread here >>> http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/cube-u30gt2/cube-u30gt-2-mobile-dongle/

Can you do us all a favour and me and tell us if you have a 100% working usb dongle, please state the make and model number in that thread mate as Ive been waiting ages and only had one reply so far, best to post details in that thread though than in here or else we will end up with two of the same threads, no point in that, thanks a lot matey

p.s

or even if the dongle does not work then tell us all that too so that we all know what works and what doesnt, that is the whole point of my thread there that I just showed you, cheers mate

A device that attaches to a computer to control access to a particularapplication. Dongles provide the most effective means of copy protection. Typically, the dongle attaches to a PC's parallel port. On Macintoshes, the dongle sometimes attaches to the ADB port. The dongle passes through all data coming through the port so it does not prevent the port from being used for other purposes. In fact, it's possible to attach several dongles to the same port.

I have a GPS dongle BU-353 S/N:BUG0154158. It works well with my NetBook but not with my U30GT2 because GPS is not supported on the Tablet. I think all we need are drivers. Maybe someonewill write a couple lines into the next ROM or Add a little code somewhere. I will now buy one of those Bluetooth GPS locators. It sounds like it will work better than the old one. I will be able to use the Tablet in the car with out having it tied to one spot. Drivers are the key?
