WWAN GPS vs mk3 GPS

Can my CF-19 use the GPS on the WWAN card? I'm looking at a Sierra Wireless 7710 LTE WWAN module for my mk3 CF-19. It was originally a WWAN model but the module was removed, leaving the wings and antennas in place - so I'm thinking putting the card back in will work.

The LTE card has GPSone (GPS + Glonass) which is probably better than the OEM GPS module for the CF-19 mk3 and cost the same-ish ($175.) I want to use GPS for iGuidance.

I'd stick with a GOBI 2000 card man! It has independant GPS on it too. Try any of the combination of jumper settings here: public_downloads/index.php?dir=CF-19%20Stuff/

I'm going with LTE because I send a lot of video back to my work via aircards (right now a Macbook Pro with a Sierra Wireless 330 card) ... and I just want to swap the SIM card into my Toughbook when I need it. :)

Then again, there's always the chance it won't work? ..

Ohhh, yeah. I'm not sure about ANYTHING with LTE yet. Even panasonic hasn't given us confirmed answers.
