I recently got rid of my air card and router for internet. Got the Verizon 10 hour battery hotspot. Cant think of the number. But anyway, the dang thing acts as a gps. No longer have to use a hockey puck for Streets and Trips. Pretty slick. Has an external antenna jack for 3/4 g antenna.

So S & T will 'find' it when you turn it on?
Is this via Bluetooth?

We got one last summer in Albuquirkie on our long trip. I noticed, later,
that it works well with my iPad mini since I got only the WiFi version.
Of course, we use it with our antenna.

I wonder if the Verizon 4620 LE GPS functions off of the cell towers vs satelite? So I wonder if it might be more accurate at positioning because more, closer towers?
btw Dan, I read the article in Motorhome Marketplace about Arch. Thanks for the headsup. But I don't have the issue with the article about front bearing monitors. Could you make a copy of it and bring it to Dothan? Or is it maybe online somewhere.
Thanks

The only unlimited data devices I know of are on Clear's WiMax 4g, such as
their device and Virgin's.
I like mine, but it is urban only.

US Cellular ran a door-buster unlimited 4g plan this past Dec-Jan. I put it on the wife's Galaxy 3. It's got a looooonnnng way to go before you could use it for entertainment.

We were grandfathered into the unlimited Verizon back in 08 when they stopped selling it, 60 bux. I now have 5 gig for 50 bux with a 10 dollar overage for 6 gig. We do not watch movies so this is great for us. They do not advertize what I have so I went to the local Verizon store and got the phone number to call so I could get it. Then I whined and moaned til they gave me the 4620 LE for free. Dont get the L or the battery wont last long. You can buy the extended batteries fairly cheap though.
Now, I just found out my 21 inch Wilson Trucker is 700 mhz. That is great. Had 2 bars, plugged in the antenna on top of the coach and jumped right up to 4 bars on 4g.
The gps is the unit picking up the satellites, not the tower. The more I play with this the more I like it. Nothing else I can do today anyway, still stuck in this wheel chair. But, I am improving.
Got two one watt commercial wifi amps for sale and 2 3g direct hook up cell amps. Various beams and other wifi stuff.
