External GPS

[gogol]

Hello,

I know that Artemis has its own internal GPS.

But, it is possible to use external GPS?

Because in some car models, there is such "coating" in the front that sometimes very difficult to penetrate by the GPS signal.

My friend has tried many external GPS for his Peugeout 307 and the only one which is working fine is Rikaline GPS.

Thanks for any info.

sure!
If you will have a look into the manual or at the backside of the Artemis, You will find the external gps antenna connector.

Otherwise, You can also use an external bluetooth gps mouse

You can use an external Bluetooth GPS device with the Artemis, although I would explore using an external aerial fitted to the Artemis first as these are less costly, most cars fitted with the "Problem" glass have a small area behind the rear view mirror that is not coated. So all yo do is fit the external aerial to the back of the mirror, route the wire around the edge of the screen (hidden for a better looking installation) and it will work without needing the Bluetooth. Have a look for part number 36H00352-00M the HTC Artemis P3300 full edition with TomTom maps comes supplied with this in the box - Mike
