Croiona Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I am having a lot of grief with a Blaupunkt Amsterdam in dash unit. I run a company Vauxhall, one of a string of cars since 1998 with Sat Nav on board. I have also used a hand held in the low profile van and set up a lap top with Microsofts Mapping in the van. Non of these systems have been any bother EXCEPT this Blaupunkt which loses itself and decides that it cannot recognise roads like M54, A38 , A5 etc. It`s not like they are new on the map? Now, the maker tells me that it is because it is a Motorhome, the body interferes with the signal ( the sensor is on the dash under the HUGE windsreen!) Can this be true? Does anyone have similar problems , or any solutions they have found to work? *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Many gps units have a socket for external arial, not sure about Blaupunkt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertractorman Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I have a Blaupunkt fitted in the van with no problems, and have used all the roads stated with no problem. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Not Blaupunktbut my Tom Tom does not need to be on the dash to receive the satellite signals. The systems now have much better receicing capability and should not be affected even below a luton overhang. There are many manufacturers specifying the Blaupunkt models in their options lists, so the makers comments appear to be a load of tosh.
