Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / February 2005GPS 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.

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 just left it on the front passenger seat, and it picked up a GPS signal, no problem. > I have a GPS system in PocketPC, but I cannot receive good - stable signal > from satelites when using it inside my car.

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.
