akinsanya sinai like it and its nice, i want you to send me a link i can download the Novatel Wireless Ovation MC727 USB Wireless Modem software from , my computer cant read my usb anymore i need to download the drivers
EricI have used this device for the last 8 months or so on the Bell Mobility Network here in Canada. First off the GPS has been disabled on the device for Bell Mobility, I called their support people and they didn't even know it had GPS capability. I know it works because I checked it with the Sprint Software. I use Microsoft Streets and Trips on my laptop and I have had endless problems with their software interfering with Streets and Trips. I have tested this on 2 different laptops with both a serial and usb gps. The device will appear that is has been disconnected and it can't be seen by Windows. If I bypass their software and add a dialup connection, it works fine. Used it for 14 hours straight and travelled 700+ kms without a drop in connection. It appears their Mobile Connect app is buggy.
