Default External GPS Antenna

My Artemis did not come with an external GPS antenna. I've been looking online, but I can't find any sort of specification as to what kind of connector this external GPA antenna jack uses. What kind of antenna should I buy?

Yes, thank you. I would still like an external antenna just in case.

in the Premium version, I bought, there was an external GPS-antenna included.
It has a very long cable.

But sorry, I can't tell you, what kind of connector it has.

If you really think you need an external aerial for the GPS unit in your device (which I doubt to be honest) have a search for the part number 36H00352-00M it transpires that the same aerial was supplied for the I-Mate PDA-n, you can purchase one from http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=129590 (at least I can improve the reception on my PDA-n now I know that! and I have found a use for the external GPS aerial that was supplied with my Arte) - Mike

I was thinking of this as well.
It may be necessary to get an ext antenae, because it takes a about 1 - 5 minutes sometimes for the handset to pick up (or connect as it shows in grey) a GPS signal
There is mothing made by man that cannot be reproduced.

Try the new update of Navigator 6 on the TomTom site before buying. Maybe there is some goodies there
Was XDA2, then K-Jam, Dopod 818 Pro (Prophet), E-ten M600+. Atom gone. Artemis in and out.Trinity with GPS has come and gone Now Ameo with dopod brains and waiting for the next device

I upgraded to the 6.03 and it still takes a very long time for it to get a valid signal.

I inquired about HTC P3300 external antenna GPS signal booster but they are out of stock and have no ETA when they are going to get them in.

Anybody have a source on where to get the above product from?

Smile Ext Aerial

The HTC 3300 uses the same external aerial as i-Mate PDA-n. I got mine through Expansys. It really boosts the signal, but makes no real difference to TTFF. It is much better in the concrete jungle though.
I came, I saw, I got very confused!
