After following the above 3 steps, you have set your GPS Unit to run WiFi in it using SPECTEC SDW-821 SDIO WiFi Card.

Whenever the Wifi Card is inserted in the SD Card Slot, the connection automatically appears in the right bottom corner & will show the available wifi networks.

Connect to the desired network & enjoy using wifi on the GPS Unit.

I have tested the WiFi card on both 5Inch & 4.3Inch GPS Devices. It works perfectly fine.

Thats it.
