It's mmcx; there's plenty of commercially available antennas available for cheap that will fit.

Re: GPS external antenna socket
Hi! I just bought a GPS antenna this week. It's the Navilock AT-65 MMCX: http://www.navilock.de/produkte/gruppen/12/Zusatz_Antennen/61232_AT-65_MMCX.html I paid EUR 7,90 at www.reichelt.de and it works pretty good. Got a fix with my Freerunner indoors after about 110 seconds. With the internal antenna (and SD card inserted, see thread Reason for GPS problems found) I get no fix at all indoors. I'll check the outdoor behavior later. ciao, André Joseph Reeves schrieb: It's mmcx; there's plenty of commercially available antennas available for cheap that will fit.

Re: GPS external antenna socket
As an impulse buy, I bought a Gilsson Technologies external GPS antenna. It was the only one the store had and it came with 4 adapters, one seems to work. I get an apparent boost (30-50%???) in signal strength. I have removed my Micro SD and have only used it with a few times. The model number appears to be: FME.
