TomTom Navigator 3 Bluetooth - External Antenna??

Hi,
It seems that I need an external antenna for my TTN3 since i keep on loosing the signal when going under bridges or under tunels (small ones). DO you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ilias

i dont really know if the external antenna will help you there, what car are you driving atm? If your car has a heat reflective windscreen this can lower the performance of the GPS and make it very unreliable in some cases.

Hi, and thanks for the answer.

I am driving a Land Rover Freelander. I believe I need the external antenna since my car has tinted windows everywhere, including the windscreen.

Thanks,
Ilias

Are you sure that your car has not got a section on the windscreen that is not tinted / heat reflective. I know that the Puegeot 307's windscreen is coated but if you put the receiver near the rear view mirror, it works like a dream.


Worth a try?

I am afraid not. The whole windscreen is tinted. So i believe that the external would help

So...???

Any ideas on where I can find an external antenna for my TTN3-Bluetooth???
