Dell to offer GPS and location features on their Dell Mini 10 netbook

GPS and location based features have gained immense popularity in the latest smartphones, but Dell thinks both of these should also be there in their netbooks and that is the reason Dell is now offering them on its Mini 10 netbook.

All you have to do is to select “Dell Wireless 700 location solution” while customizing your Mini 10. According to Dell blogger, it will also come with turn-by-turn navigation, thanks to CoPilot navigation software.

“We’re betting that location services will be a hit in netbooks,” said Dell blogger Lionel Menchaca. “The Mini 10 is the first system that we’ll offer with the optional Dell 700 Wireless location solution. Stay tuned for more details about more supported systems.”

It is functional only in Windows XP, Vista and upcoming Windows 7. It won’t work in Linux OS.
