To add the Panel style GPS to your panel:

do the following:
1. Open the folder for the aircraft that you want to add the panel to.
2. Open a folder called Panel
3. Open Panel.cgf in notepad
4. In a section that looks like this:
| [Window Titles] Window00=Main Panel Window01=Radio Stack Window02=Annunciator Window03=Compass Window04=Mini Panel Window05=GPS |
Type in the red text following the numbering (Note: the number given here will be the Shift+? number to call up the GPS) 5.Further down the file you will see a pattern like this:

Once again you add the red bit, remember to use the same number where I used 05 that you used in step 4. Now
when you press Shift+5 (or whatever number you used) or you click Views
> Instrument Panel > GPS; you will see the GPS appear To use the hand-held GPS:  simply replace gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0
in red in step 4, with gauge00=fs9gps!gps_295, 0,0
