+Smokehouse Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Does anyone know if there are plans for an external antennae or if there is already one available and if so where. The KGB Quote Link to comment
peter Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 While the eTrex series doesn't direclty support external antennas, you can use a 're-radiating' unit. One example is the Big Brother model that uses one antenna to receive the GPS signal and a second one that you'd put near the eTrex to retransmit it. It does require an external 12VDC power supply. www.tvnav.com is one source for it: http://www.tvnav.com/bigbrother.html Quote Link to comment

Probably not since the GPS never gives the same coords twice so it'll be harder for the radiation to concentrate on the same area! When you come to a fork in the road, take it. Quote Link to comment
