the external GPS antenna accessory from TomTom Business Solutions, Art. no
9UKE.001.00, which comes with an integrated magnet and an adhesive pad. The external
GPS antenna from TomTom Business Solutions is not part of the standard LINK 510
product package.
To check if your LINK 510 has GPS reception use the Diagnostic Tool. You can download
the Diagnostic Tool from the Partner Portal.
Important

performance may be poor or not work at all.

• The magnet of the antenna remains attached to the outside of the car at speeds of up
to 180 km/h.
• Install the GPS antenna in a position where it has a clear view of the sky and is
unobstructed by metal objects.

surface.
• Extreme temperature changes or differences can affect the adhesive property of the
pad.
