GPS on Tbook 16

[Андрей Портнов]

Hi there!
After reinstall Win 10 I found device  “Broadcom GNSS 47521 Geolocation Sensor”. It means my laptop have got a location function(GPS\GLONASS). Windows system installed drivers for it, but location services doesn’t work with Win 10 now.
Maybe someone knows where can I download driver for it? Or  can I solve the problem?

Hi there,

I believe the device is not a real device. Tested with a GPS software – found my location but through Wireless (WIFI). Windows can use your wifi to detect your location to street level. Enable location services in Windows for this to work.

I think it’s real device. One chip “BCM4752” constraint serval additional functions: accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and altimeter. Gyroscope is working on my device :). Wi-Fi find you location though read IP-address you internet provider.
Somewhere i found information about my problem. One man wrote next: “You need created 2 COM-ports and once take a GPS-data thought <b>GNSS Data Interface</b>“. But it sill doesn’t work now. And i don’t now why(
