| ## Connecting external GPS | ||
| External GPS can be connected to the <MobileAppNameShort /> via [Bluetooth](#bluetooth-connection-android-only) or a [Network provider](#network-provider-connection). We recommend using one of these options as they provide more data, such as HDOP and fix quality (see [position variables](../../layer/variables/#position-variables)). Also, the <MobileAppNameShort /> will report which device is used and take care of reconnecting in case of lost connection. | ||

External GPS can be connected to the MM via Bluetooth, Network provider or Trimble position provider.
wouldn't it be better to use "Bluetooth, Network, Trimble connection"? current wording feels a bit off
