External GNSS receiver is used to improve weakened GNSS signal in heavy machinery or vehicles with a lot of metal shielding that deteriorates GNSS signal. External receiver sends messages based on NMEA standard communication and uses RS232 for connection. It is supplied with double sided tape for easy mounting.
