I have yet to loose the connection to the satillites with this item. I only use it when I drive the SUV or the MiniVan. |

WORKS AS ADVERTISED |
This remote antenna for my Garmin GPS works just as advertised - and I cannot say that for many products. The ONLY improvement I would recommend is modifying the included mount so it could be used on either the windshield or the dash.
It worked right out of the box - and is easy to assemble with the mount.
A "no sweat" deal. |

I have tried to use this item inside and it has not proven to increase reception. Save your money. |

Generally Not Needed |
|
An external antenna for a GPS is generally not needed unless (1) You have coated windshield tinting - these have metal particles that can obstruct satellite reception. (2) You are constantly in an area surrounded by skyscrapers - these can interfere with satellite reception also. If you are not affected by these two conditions, then you DO NOT need an external antenna... using an external antenna will NOT improve your satellite reception... you ONLY need this if you are having reception problems. If you are not having reception problems, you are wasting your money... it is an external antenna, and NOT a signal amplifier... if you are not having reception problems, you will NOT get any better signals using an external antenna. |

The Gilsson provides same performance for way less money |
|
The Garmin GA27C external GPS antenna works great! But the "Gilsson High Performance active remote external" antenna provides the same performance for $20 compared to $100. Avoid the Garmin 25MCX. It's performance is pathetic. I've written detailed reviews on Americancivilwar of the 25MCX and the Gilsson. But the bottom line is: Get the Gilsson. |
