7. External Antenna Jack
The external antenna jack allows you to connect an external
antenna in cases when it’s not possible for the GPS unit to have a
direct view to the sky. This may be the case if your vehicle does
not have an area where you can easily mount your GPS unit.
Another instance is if your vehicle’s surrounding causes
interference with the GPS wireless signals. With the external
antenna, you can place the GPS unit anywhere on your vehicle and
mount the antenna on the roof.
