Thinkware External GPS Antenna

Add speed and location information to recordings from a compatible Thinkware dash cam. The external GPS antenna connects to the camera’s GPS port and mounts to the windshield. It also enables supported safety-camera alerts when the camera has the appropriate regional database and settings.

Record location data and fit the antenna

Video shows what happened; GPS data helps you review where you were and how fast the vehicle was moving. Use the Thinkware computer viewer for the recorded location and speed information. This antenna supplies GPS reception to the camera. It does not add a mobile connection, live vehicle tracking or navigation directions.

Compatible models include the Thinkware F70 Pro and Q200 2CH. It also supports older models listed in Specifications. Check your exact camera and what came in its box before buying a second antenna.

The built-in lead is 25.5cm (10in) long, so plan the position near the camera before attaching it. Clean the glass and connect the antenna to the GPS port with the dash cam powered off. Mount the antenna away from the main camera unit to reduce interference, then power on and wait for the GPS connection announcement.

Some coated windshields and built-in defrosters can interfere with reception. If the connection is unreliable, check the mounting position and your camera’s instructions. Safety-camera alerts use a database of locations; keep the correct US or Canadian data current and enable the feature in the camera settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this antenna work with my Q200 or F70 Pro?

Yes. Thinkware lists Q200 and F70 Pro among the supported external-GPS models. Check the camera package first because some bundles already include the antenna.

Does it work with every Thinkware dash cam?

No. Use the exact-model list in Specifications. This listing excludes X550, F750 and F770; a camera with built-in GPS does not need this add-on.

Can I track my vehicle remotely with it?

No. This antenna adds GPS reception for the camera’s recorded data and supported alerts. It does not add LTE, a SIM card or remote connectivity.

Where can I see the recorded speed and location?

Open the recordings in the Thinkware dash cam viewer on a compatible Windows or Mac computer. GPS reception must have been available when the recording was made.

Will it warn me about every speed camera?

No. Alerts depend on the camera’s supported features, enabled settings and the installed regional safety-camera database. Update that data separately from the firmware when instructed; it cannot guarantee that every camera location is listed.

Where should I mount the antenna?

On clean windshield glass, within reach of the short lead and away from the main camera unit to reduce interference. Keep the driver’s view clear. Connect it with the dash cam powered off, then check for a GPS connection after powering on.

Why might GPS reception be unreliable?

Windshield coatings, built-in defrosters and nearby interference can affect reception. Check the connection and mounting position using the camera instructions before assuming the antenna has failed.

Does the antenna enable parking mode?

No. Parking recording needs the camera’s supported parking settings and a suitable power connection. GPS reception is a separate function.

Great Add-On GPS

I bought the Thinkware X1000 from Blackbox MyCar, Richmond. First, great people. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the products.
They recommended a GPS unit, which I had not thought about. A little research showed they were correct and their suggestion was just
not an up sell attempt. The GPS makes a huge difference in the amount of information available and only $40, what a great little device.
2 minutes to add it to the install and my GPS out of sight, out of mind stuck on my window, working just fine.
Thanks Blackbox MyCar.

I should have purchased the GPS when I bought the FA200

I purchased the Thinkware FA200 without the GPS in December, I didn't realize as Mike C. noted the GPS 'allows me to take advantage of my dash cam's traffic camera detection function. I would encourage anybody installing a dash cam that dosen't have internal GPS to get it. This GPS also allows me to check my speed on the recordings to make sure my speedo is accurate for example going through a school zone as my vehicle has different size tires for winter which changes the speed I'm actually doing.

Hi Barry, thanks for leaving a review and for shopping with us! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Helps me find speed traps and avoid accidents

Having this antenna allows me to take advantage of my dash cam's traffic camera detection function. The dash cam alerts me well in advance if I'm approaching a speed trap or red light camera, giving me time to slow down if needed because you're never sure how fast you need to go to trigger a speed trap. As a result, I no longer have to slam on my brakes and risk getting rear ended when approaching a speed trap just because I could trigger it by matching the speed of other traffic.

Hi Mike, awesome to hear. Thanks for shopping with us! Come back anytime.

thinkware external gps

works well with the dashcam but at almost every km driven it says gps connected it would be nice if there was some software that stops that inthe future i would recommend this item for purchase

Hi Patricia, thanks for taking the time to leave your review.
Please try updating the firmware of your device if you haven't done so already.
If you're continuing to experience issues with your GPS disconnecting/reconnecting, please do not hesitate to contact us via Email.

Great service

I received a dash cam for Christmas and wanted to upgrade the memory card and get the external GPS. Purchased both separately and was amazed at how fast I got them. It only took a couple of days for delivery from Canada to the US. I can't get things from Seattle, 90 miles away as fast.
