How do I know that the NST uses the external GPS?

I paired my new LD-4W with my phone (E71).
I started Bleutooth. Started NST. How do I know which GPS it uses?

When the LD-4W is paired with your phone a blue led blinks at the LD-4W.

But after that. Is the NST automaticaly works with the LD-4W? Is there an indication?

I'm not sure whether the phone would prioritize the integrated GPS unit over the bluetooth GPS or not.

One way to be sure it is only the bluetooth unit is to go into your phone's settings (General>Positioning>Positioning methods), then check Bluetooth GPS and uncheck Integrated GPS. You can leave Assisted GPS checked to help with your lock time.

It does priorotise the external GPS over the internal.

Thanks both of you.
The LD-4W is indeed more accurate.
