Not anymore. My BT-338 uses a SiRF III chip which can function fine without a direct view. I can leave it in my pocket when I drive, and use TomTom on my Treo without any problems.]]>Mar 28th 2006 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/Mar 29th 2006 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/
I think this mod is great, and would love to perform it if I can only find where I put my old GPS receiver.]]>Mar 29th 2006 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/Mar 29th 2006 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/Mar 29th 2006 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/Mar 29th 2006 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/Mar 29th 2006 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/Mar 29th 2006 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/Mar 29th 2006 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/Mar 29th 2006 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/The current time is lost and some Palmsoftware sent a wrong initstring, causing the Streetfinder to send only $GPRMC and $GPGSV. Both problems can be solved by correctly initalising the GPS.]]>Mar 29th 2006 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/
Lots of naysayers here that have newer models that don't realize how crappy the receive used to be on GPS units. My III+ would hardly work driving around in downtown Seattle until I got an external antenna, with which it now has no problems.

Again, great mod, and wow! A soldering iron? -New concept!- :D]]>Mar 30th 2006 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/
