Yes, because my dad used a GPS while traveling from Florida to New Jersey in a car
to make it easier to get from destination to destination.
NO! GPS And satellite radio are two different things. They cannot share an antenna.
GPS and Radio are on 2 different frequencies GPS, GPS travels on a L1 Frequency
up to 1575 MHz while radio is on BANDS, Like Sirius is on S band which holds DATA
and Sound unlike GPS which holds DATA Only. So an Antenna that's on a car
cannot receive both, the technology IS out there, but ONLY on NEW cars 2007
and UP

Of course they can. Any two receivers can share any one antenna. But depending on
the frequencies that each of them is trying to receive, and on the antenna input circuit
of each receiver, and on the characteristics of the antenna, and on the exact method
of connecting both receivers to it, the number of receivers that deliver acceptable
performance may be both, or one, or neither.

Can a GPS unit access a satellite radio antenna via the auxiliary port on the radio?
No. You will need a external transmitter with a suitable antenna.
Can a satellite radio get gps signal?
No. The satellites used to distribute Sirius/XM "satellite" radio operate on frequencies assigned to Sirius/XM "satellite" radio. They don't operate on frequencies allocated to the GPS system.
Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?
You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.
What kind of signal is used in a GPS satellite?
radio waves
Where do I buy a tomtom gps antenna?
You would be able to purchase tomtom GPS antennas at radio shack, best buy, target and other electronic stores. You may also be able to find a tomtom GPS antenna at www.amazon.com/tomtom
Where can I buy a gps receiver antenna?
You can purchase a GPS receiver antenna from a list of electronic venders including: Wal-mart, Sears, Target, and Radio Shack. Remember to always check pricing to ensure you get the best deal.
Does GPS represent an invasion of your privacy?
No. It's just a radio receiver, listening for satellite signals.
How does lowrance gps antenna compare with other brands of gps antenna?
Lowrance GPS antenna is the most desired brand of GPS antenna. They are reliable, and excellent when compared to other brands, and cost the same as the lower quality brands.
Where is Honda odyssey Navigation GPS antenna located My navigation keeps looking for a signalafter the ten minutes required searching for signal it gets nothing and repeats this when ever started.?
On the rear of the roof (above rear cargo area behind 3rd row seat) No. on the rear of the roof is not GPS antenna that is XM satellite antenna . The GPS antenna is behind the Odometer ( under the dash) http://fileserver7.jpghosting.com/images/IMG_0162_773f8e3c0918f13d1456d0932ab9ee93
Do you need satellite radio to use gps?
No, that won't work.You need a special GPS receiver with a super-accurate clock in it (and lots of other goodies) in order to take advantage of GPS signals from the group of 24 GPS satellites.
How does a GPS system send data to a PC or internet site?
There is two practical ways to do it one is by GSM network or via satellite where you will need an external satellite transmitter with a suitable antenna and a monthly fee to be paid
How does a GPS receiver calculate its distance from a satellite?
Very easily. The GPS receiver measures how long it takes a certain radio signal to travel from the GPS satellite(s) to itself, and from that, the receiver calculates the distance. It can do that because it knows precisely how fast the radio signal travels.If you have signals from at least 3 satellites, the process of trilateration (not triangulation) pinpoints the location where the 3 distances 'cross' each other. If you have 4 satellites 'locked in', then you will find out your altitude, too. (The process is not quite this simple, but to go on would be confusing.)The hard part is measuring the precise time it takes for a certain radio signal to travel from the GPS satellite to your GPS receiver. Well, hard if you do it, but very easy when the GPS receiver does it!First, each GPS satellite carries an on-board atomic clock. This clock is outrageously accurate, but even so, ground stations connected to the US Navy atomic clock system keep each satellite precisely at the correct time. Your GPS receiver has an on-board high-precision clock of its own.Second, when your GPS receiver first makes contact with the constellation of GPS satellites, it is sent an 'almanac' that lists where each satellite is, what it's precise time is, and other goodies. After reading the almanac, the GPS receiver sets itself to the precisely same time as the satellite constellation.Thirdly, when the GPS receiver gets a signal from the satellites, there is information in it that says precisely at what time the radio signal left each satellite, which is identical for all the satellites. Then your GPS receiver 'looks at its watch' and subtracts the 'sent' time from the 'received' time. The data in the almanac are updated by the satellite constellation every few hours so that your GPS receiver will always know where the satellites are and what their precise time is.Go back to the beginning and reread what your GPS receiver can do once it knows the precise travel time of the radio signal.
