GPS not working on Wireless 5720 Sprint Mobile Broadband PCI Express Mini Card
I purchased a "Wireless 5720 Sprint Mobile Broadband PCI Express Mini Card" and installed it into my Dell XPS M1210. The product highlights state "Allows you to retrieve location data from GPS satellites, utilize GPS navigation and location-based applications", and the help files for the "Dell Broadband Card Utility" shows how to use the GPS features. Problem is, the "GPS Status" and other settings for GPS aren't present in the utility. I'm using the most recent available version of the utility. Anyone have any insight? Are the product details just wrong and this card doesn't do GPS, or what??

GREAT!
That works for me... Com 7... But my registry key was a little different:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novatel Wireless\NextGenCommon

I have the Verizon 5720. I followed your instructions as for editing the registry and now the GPS is an option. But, it did not install the drivers for it, nor is there anything in the Device Manager>Ports for the GPS.
Is there something I'm missing?
Also, do you know if the GPS will work if the card is not activated for service thru Verizon?

Has anyone got this working with the Dell Control Point Application?
