For the GPS to work it needs a GPS antenna connected to the GPS port on the back of the head unit, the GPS antenna is supplied.

yes, you need antenna and antenna is not included. You could by a very cheap rabbit antenna. Do not buy any costly antenna, because it will not make any difference.

Was not included but has ports to allow for one. You can find one that will work for pretty cheap money. Side note - I probably would not buy unit again with hindsight. GPS sw needed update out of the box and would cost additional $75. Actually use phone gps that this unit now.

No. It is an external GPS antenna for an AT&T; Microcell. The Microcell is what you need. It needs an antenna I order to work. I can't recall, but I think it comes with one.

GPS is separate. It has an internal antenna. Call support if you do not get it resolved. I love mine.

It does have a GPS built-in, however it does eat the battery so use it sparingly. It is very accurate too for a low priced Tablet.

It has one. But it is not worth the money. I ended up smashing the hell out of mine on frustration. The gps worked fine for 2 months and then never again. And if the gps fails you think that all you have to do is wait for better signal and then start the process however there is no way to restart the thing. I bought a polar m400. Completely better.

Yes the adapter does come with the antenna and does not need to be bought separately.

Mine came with a antenna. If I was looking for a replacement I would try radio shackI hope this helps you.

Yes, it has a face mounted GPS antenna. It can be flush mounted. I have not been off shore with mine, and I do not have it flush mounted. It works great here on Lake Amistad. You will need an external VHF antenna for the radio to work.

CL: If you buying this item used, makeSure it has an antenna as well as the adapter and manual. Without an antenna, you can't pick up The satellite signal. B Mc
