this is still a pretty poor solution.... non of the case will fit with the dongle installed. which means we'll have to remove the pad from case every time we need to use GPS. that's pretty painful....:mad:

Received and saw satellites for first time ever. 11/14 with 16ft accuracy. Sounds pretty good to me.

dongle screenshots

Got mine today also. Performs great. Here is a series of photos and screen shots:
1st - Picture of the dongle itself in the package
2nd Screenshot of Prime GPS Test without the dongle
3rd - Screenshot of Prime GPS Test with the dongle
4th - Screenshot from my HTC EVO 4g GPS Test in the same position at the same time

Test was done inside a solid building about 10 feet from the nearest window.
So far, so good. Will test it in the car later.

Can anyone tell me roughly the size of the shipping box the GPS dongle came in? I have quite a small mailbox and if it can't fit Fedex brings it back to their warehouse (which is miles away).
Thank you

I was unable to register it on Asus' VIP site. The form griped that my serial number was wrong. Anybody able to successfully register theirs?

Got mine today. Guess I'm gonna be looking back to roms based on .21......(Virtuous....any other good .21 ones?)

Not to complain.....but I love how ASUS just sent me a free gps dongle to effectively make my $150 keyboard FROM THEM worthless........lol, priceless

Good thing I don't really care about GPS on this thing, haha

    This forum is way to over moderated. I am posting this here as requested in my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622447&page=2
    Polite question to Swiftks
    GPS dongle is a very big subject with loads of side subject like mine about the dongle not fitting. does it really make sense to put everything related to the GPS dongle in one thread? How is that easier for users to find relevant information without sieving through hundreds of posts in a very broad subject/thread like the GPS dongle.

    Pretty simple... go to the one gps dongle thread, and use the search button.

    Hey don't blame me... I received multiple reports today from your fellow XDA members complaining about the number of GPS dongle threads in this section, and requesting a Mod combine some of the threads.... guess you can't make everyone happy.

    Not trying to steal the OP's glory, just wanted to consolidate all the miscellaneous GPS Dongle threads into one place; as the amount of threads on the same subject was getting out of control.

    PLEASE POST ALL GPS DONGLE DISCUSSION HERE.

    Thanks,

    Just delivered, put it on and it works great! Worked much better after a reboot.

    Inside the house, solid brick house, got 12 in view 8 in use, 20 ft accuracy.

    Good job Asus! Thanks!!!!

    (I was one of the guys who registered during that tiny window that registration was open)

    I have Champagne ... WTF
    +1 me too, mine is champagne, i think the champagne color will be ship until next week, this week only gray...
    i have a champagne as well. [snip] maybe they dont have the champagne one yet?
    So no Champagne yet... damn... I'm leaving the US next week...!

    This post says they have received a Champagne version.
    Anyone with a champagne colored prime receive one yet?
    got mine 2days ago

    On a separate note, my TP stopped recognizing the GPS adapter and I had to reboot to get it to show again. It had been attached and removed a few times. Is there a safe disconnect procedure? Maybe I should not connect or disconnect it while the TP display is still on.

    shipping

    its a random generated number. I saw your other post. although its a pain, just call fed ex tomorrow to see the status of it. although you said they can't give you the tracking number, if its already shipped, they should be able to tell you over the phone where its at in route at least. when I had called them last week, I basically was patched straight through. no wait at all really.

    Actually on my shipping label it says
    Ref: TF201DONGLE - "INSERT MY SERIAL NUMBER" - GRAY

    I ordered 4.6.12 & mine just shows "submitted".... I have Champagne ... WTF

    +1 me too, mine is champagne, i think the champagne color will be ship until next week, this week only gray...
