New Asus PCT91go has Built-in GPS: Netbook GPS Trend Starting
Tuesday July 7, 2009
"Netbook" computers — those light and slim computers with sub-12-inch screens — are becoming increasingly popular because of their low prices ($99 to $399) and their ultra-portability (easy to fit in a briefcase or large purse). A trend toward including built-in GPS in these units is just starting, with Dell rolling out its "700" strategy with its Mini 10, and now Asus, with its soon-to-be-released PCT91go, equipped with an 8.9-inch screen. The Asus PCT91go will also include built-in 3G data network access, and will run Windows XP Home. If you've been considering a netbook, wait for GPS. It's coming very soon. Image © Asus.

No need to wait for GPS. For a little extra money, I got a Keychain GPS 2000 for $60and a bluetooth dongle for $2 It is so small you barely notice it is there. Everything works great !
