tomtom 910 external aerial

[wakaday]

Hi, I need to improve my sat reception on my tomtom 910 due to the position in the car. Can anyone reccomend a good external areial? is the original tomtom aerial the best?

For the life of me, I cannot see anywhere to attach an external aerial on my 910 - the new chip is supposed to be megga good at it.

But there are loads of folk on this forum who are wizards with screwdrivers and stuff, so keep watching.

The TomTom aerial will do the job if you really need it. The GPS reception with a 910 is very good, you must have put the unit in a very shielded location if its struggling to get a signal - have a look at THIS
Dennis, the external GPS plugs in to the right hand side of the mount connector is the one furthest away from the windscreen - Mike

Thanks for the replies. The position I use my 910 is under the TV screen on a E60 BMW. Reception is ok , providing you get a 1st gps fix with the unit on the dash, but I quite often leave it under the dash when I park. I've noticed some cheaper GPS aerials on EBAY with gains from 28 to 55 dB. Which is the best aerial to go for?
