GPS in 307

Hi,

I have a GPS system in PocketPC, but I cannot receive good - stable signal
from satelites when using it inside my car. I checked my GPS in other cars
and it works there very good. Has anyone had any problems with using GPS
system in Peugeot 307 ?

thanks
Martin

 

This has all been done before, it's to do with the reflective windscreen,
you need to either fit an extra aerial or place it near the front
quarterlight.

Hi,

Experienced the same problem in my 307SW, I've placed the GPS receiver near
the roof window and this works very well

thank you for Your answer. I was thinking if it is possible to use built in
aerial to enhance GPS signal ? - sorry if this question is not related to
this newsgroup.

I've used a handheld Garmin eTrex in my 307 without any problems. I just
left it on the front passenger seat, and it picked up a GPS signal, no
problem.

I had this in my 206cc. The only part of the windscreen which is able to
pass the signals is that part around the rear view mirror which has dots of
black paint applied. The manual suggests this is for attaching "toll cards
and/or car park tickets" by which I guess it means things like Dart Tags
which may also be blocked by the windscreen.

With a hand held GPS I had to use an external aerial near the rear screen. I
recently upgraded to TomTom on a PDA and a Bluetooth GPS which I have now
stuck to the back of the rear view mirror and it picks up fine there and is
more out of sight than you'd think.

Cheers,
