hi,
will a gps unit for the mk1 fit a mk3? just got mysel a mk3, but had on order a gps diy kit or the mk1. help and guidence is most welcome.

from my understanding, it will fit. I dont know from personal experience, but when I looked into buying the diy gps kit, it was made to fit the cf-29/cf-30 no particular mark. hope this helps.

I have a CF-30 Mk3 with Win7 that doesn't have GPS and a Mk1 parts-machine that does. So I can...
1. Move the factory GPS from the Mk1 to the Mk3.
2. Purchase an after-market one on eBay from "custom-toughbooks" ( GPS Kit for Panasonic Toughbook CF 30 Aftermarket DIY Ublox 6 | eBay )
3. Purchase an after-market one on eBay from "techtuff" ( New GPS Kit Panasonic Toughbook CF 30 Laptop MS Streets Trips Works Ublox 6 | eBay )
4. Something else you might recommend.

I've read the posts here and some like one, some like the other after-market products - but couldn't find any post that compared the two.

Thanks in advance

...yes you can swap the gps from the different mk's

The ublox aftermarket performs much better than an oem gps (leadtek or sony)
The aftermarket requires some effort to make fit.
The oem is plug and play and can be swapped in in under an hour.
