Hi,

I have recently brought my wife a Go 520 which I have been so impressed with that I am considering selling my Pda based Satnav and buying a Go 520 for myself.

I currently use a GNS FM9 TMC reciever and struggled to get any decent reception with the standard wire aeriel until I made up a fly lead to connect the TMC unit to my car's FM aeriel. After that I had perfect TMC reception over the whole of the north of england & Scotland.

If I decide to get a GFo 520 I would also like to get a TMC reciever as well, can the new units be connected to an external aeriel? On my GNS unit there was simply a 2.5mm jack plug connection which I plugged my lead from the car's aeriel into. Looking at the TomTom TMC reciever on the web it looks like I may have to make up a plug type configuration on the end of the wire. Has anyone already done this? If so what is the best way to approach it.

As ever many thanks in advance for your thoughts

Richard

It is possible to do with some good reports of reception improvements - have a read or This Thread as a starter for ten, there are plenty of others on a similar vein though.
