    Hey all. I recently purchased a generic USB GPS stick:
    Code:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/44-Channel-USB-GPS-Receiver-for-Laptop-Notebook-PDA-NEW_W0QQitemZ370101449570QQihZ024QQcategoryZ156955QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
    i'm thinking about disassembling it, removing the USB adapter and tucking it up inside the empty 3G space underneath the AA1.

    now, it occurred to me that the device wouldn't get a very good signal being under the netbook like that. so here are my questions.
    1) is there any sort of wifi-like antennae that i can run up through the LCD bezel
    2) is there a better placement for a GPS this size?

    thanks for any help!
