Hi,

As SD doesn't work with the internal GPS sensors in win 8.1, can anyone suggest an external GPS sensor that has a proven track record on windows 8?

What sort of sensor do I need to look for?

Thanks for your help.

Win8 and Win 8.1




Qtrek Blue GPS S3 Bluetooth GPS receiver.




Tablet Asus TF810C Vivotab

This was quickly identified by Win8 no conflicts and works well (used COM8 baud9600 on this tablet). Have used it for 12months for both SD and MemMap no problems. Good battery life.




£15 - £25 but might have difficulty finding one now
