Hello ! I have an old Kazam x5.5 phone I decided to convert it to GPS for offroad. Unfortunately, the range is very poor. I have already located the GPS location and now I have a few questions: 1. What antenna to buy for this? 2. What do you recommend up to PLN 40? 3. Maybe it's better to do...

As long as the phone has BT, it makes no sense to buy an external GPS receiver and pair it with the phone?

Probably only GPS, and what is it basically different? I want to use the Locus map free app, so only GPS

This is also a way out. And how much is something like this and what is the best choice up to PLN 70 (rather to buy a used one)?

Hello !
I have an old Kazam x5.5 phone
I decided to convert it to GPS for offroad. Unfortunately, the range is very poor.
I have already located the GPS location and now I have a few questions:
1. What antenna to buy for this?
2. What do you recommend up to PLN 40?
3. Maybe it's better to do it yourself, only I heard that a wrongly calculated one does not give you anything.

Do you only use GPS or A-GPS?
