There is no physical type of GPS connector. You can use a bluetooth connection to pair your external GPS or use the internal GPS which works great on my unit. Hope this helps!

Hi,
thanks for your reply. The X7501 does have an ext GPS antenna. Just below the camera lens, cover by the rubber plug. It is a special connector type. You only need to use it when you want stronger receiving signal to your X7501.

IT is a MS-147 Connector. MS-147 is straight and a MS-147c is a right angle connector. An MCX connector will not work. Digikey has MS-147 to SMA adapters. Which then can be adapted to anything. MS--147 connectors are usually mounted onto RG-147 coax.
The x7501 has two external antenna connectors. the GPS connector is near the camera lens. the other connector near the stylus is the external TV connector. But I do not know how to get on the device... YET! IF you know how to get TV on a X7501 then tell me, PLEASE.

Have Seen External GPS antennas on Ebay but they do not identify the connector. Be cautious.
