How to add default MSFS GPS to the 757?

Ok, I know I am going to get dragged through the mud for this but I was wondering if anyone has any quick ideas on how to add the GPS back in to the panel. I just don't have the time right now to figure out the FMC but I would really like to get this one up in the air using the GPS and the default flight planner.

I was wondering if anyone had already done this or has a panel.cfg from one of the earlier blocks - assuming that the earlier blocks did use the default gps.

Thanks for the help,
Jeff

I copied the GPS from the FSX default 172, and added it to the panel.cfg

Were you able to get nav1 to follow the gps properly? I know I can add a keyboard command for the nav/gps toggle but it seems like would also have top replace a few other gauges.

Am I over thinking this?

I didnt try, I use the GPS as a moving map to back up the FMC, but you can use Heading mode on the MCP to track the course line
