I'm almost certainly sure that this is BS.
This probably refers to the internal GPS connector or GSM connector. 
(Both are on the back)
Jette is looking for a external GPS antenna. (on the side)

But MMCX is right. I kept my mouth shut because i expected Jette to 
search the lists himself.
But it did do it myself before someone something wrong is said.
