Transformer Prime GPS Extension Kit gets put to the test, locks 16 satellites in Seconds

Those of you that were less than satisfied with the performance of the GPS on your Transformer Prime have probably already got your free dongle order in. That doesn’t mean that some of you are still skeptical on how well it might work. Free is free though so why not take advantage of it? Personally I still don’t understand the need for GPS on a tablet. None the less, it is important to you, you paid to have it as a feature so damn it, you want it to work. Well, ASUS wants to make sure those of you that are unsatisfied get GPS that meets your needs. The real question is does it actually solve the issue and work. Thanks to the crew at Engadget, we have the answer to that question and it is a resounding “Heck yeah it does.”

With the fancy pants hardware addition they were able to lock onto 16 satellites, indoors, in a matter of seconds. Probably beats the heck out of your current smartphone or GPS unit. Take a look.

That’s pretty impressive isn’t it? If you have been waiting to get your order placed to make sure it was worth the time, effort and that it worked, you can wait no longer. Head to ASUS’s Extension Kit application now to get that order placed.
