| Welcome to the forum, tinted glass doesn't affect the signal reception, athermic glass will attenuate the signal but the 720 has a decent GPS chipset in it that should still work - I would try it in the car and see how it behaves, if need be you could fit an external aerial but it shouldn't be needed - Mike |
