Hi everyone,
i have Galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition, I have poor GPS signal and wanna plug external GPS antenna. I don t know if its possible i found one free plug on board which located top right under the speaker and look like SMB plug , I have 2 questions about it.

1) Is that plug available for GPS antenna?
2) if first question's answer "yes", what kind of connector is it ( SMB , MCX or smth else)

i have the photo but cant post the link because i am newbie in forum ( must have 10 post to send a link)

I think that you should check all other possible causes - permissions, configuration of gps.conf, test GPS functionality on open space with data on via tethering and lastly if stock antenna is connected properly, not damaged in any way.

If you really want to improve GPS reception IMO better would be standalone GPS unit paired via bluetooth with tablet.

Thanks a lot, i bought already ( as you suggested) Motorola Smartphone-Based Navigation T805 (2009), and download Bluetooth GPS app
it works perfect :)
