AD-Teknik's ActiveGPS is a
totally free system, you don't have to pay any fee for
updates.
Instead you'll get information from three
different directions:
- AD-Teknik will
control all of Scandinavia to keep our database up
to date. We will continuously check all positions.
- Everyone that owns
a ActiveGPS can assist in updating the database.
When you see a new camera that the unit does not
react upon, you simply press the button until you hear
a beep. ActiveGPS has now determined position, speed
& direction. Then when you connect it to
internet with the enclosed software this information
is sent to AD-Teknik's database for validating.
- You can also
import data from other databases on the internet,
the software supports TomTom's OV2-format.
How much does it
cost to get access to AD-Teknik's database?
Opposite to other systems, where you have to pay EUR
60 or more , AD-Teknik database is totally free.
What should I think
about when to buy a GPS with a built-in database?
- The price. There
are systems that costs more than EUR 400,
ActiveGPS costs EUR 109.87
- Access to an
updated database, there are systems that requires
subscription fees, we don't!
- Possibility to
import positions over the internet. Most systems can
only use the manufacturers own format this means
that you have to keep paying that fee to keep the
database up to date.
Do I have to buy the
external antenna?
No, ActiveGPS has an internal antenna, but it
requires free vision to the satellites which should be
no problem if you place the unit up on the dashboard.
In these cases you may need a external antenna:
- If you got an
almost vertical windshield.
- If you want to
place the unit so it can't get a free vision with
the satellites.
- Windshields with
built-in heating protection can damp the signal according to
our supplier. We have tested this in different cars
but we can't see that it will disturb the signal.

there on the unit?
- USB to power the
unit in the vehicle or to update the
database and to use the unit as a common GPS

established contact with the satellites.
Do I as a customer have
