[Qgis-user] Live Mapping with QGIS on Toughbook

[Daniel Greene]

Nicolas, the Toughbook definitely has a GPS as i can test the connection
using the GPS software - and i have tried it in various places.

John, i have copied the project and files on to the desktop with the same
results. i have also tried it without any data to see if it can pick my
position up whilst using only a basemap but still no luck.
