Generally Not Needed.......2007-08-04
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.......2007-08-03
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 Amazon of the 25MCX and the Gilsson. But the bottom line is: Get the Gilsson.
REMOTE ANTENNA.......2007-07-22
My Garmin Nuvi 350 appears to work fine without the remote and we pick up the sat signals with just the built-in antenna. But we'll use it to keep the Nuvi out of the direct sunlight on the dash, and it allows my wife to have the Nuvi in her lap for easier programming and reading. If it's not there we just place it in the console and go by voice driving instructions. Works great and we don't need to rely on the windshield suction cup holders for the Nuvi.
Antenna Not Sensitive Enough.......2007-06-09
This antenna ought to work through the windscreen; it does not. It works patchily when I place it directly under the moonroof on the sliding shade. It works perfectly only when I place it completely outside the vehicle. The windscreen mount was therefore a waste of time and money - I should have taken the advice I got from no less than a Garmin salesperson to purchase the cheaper antenna for $31.00. Whether this is all the fault of the antenna or that there is some peculiar unique "firewall" in my 2007 Toyota Camry windscreen (or the electroluminiscent rearview mirror) - I do not know, but it seems to me that paying big money for an item without caveat or exclusions for certian vehicles should secure just what the item promises: that it would work through the windscreen with or without a mount.

A *MUST* for long range use.......2007-10-28
Most of the time your dog will be nearby when hunting, but garmin made the exception knowing that you may have a quad runner or 4WD and the rubber duck will be woefully inadequate and kill off your range.
When I bought my Astro it was only doing about .3 miles in the CITY - I measured the power out of the transmitter and had to send it back for repair, which brought it to about .67 miles. That's with the unit in my hand out the window of the car to get a signal, so I bought this antenna.
Range is now 1.77 miles - almost 3 times what it used to be! and that is CITY usage - taking it to the country went well over 4 miles. If you use any sort of motor vehicle and let your dog(s) roam, this is a must to find them.
The fit and finish of this is very well done - it meets all my expectations and is designed around garmin's antenna interface.
I was surprised Amazon stocked this but very pleased they did. Recently alot of electronics have disappeared to outsourced stores off amazon making orders hard to put together without paying shipping for each item because 4 vendors get involved. Cudos to amazon for stocking the accessories that make a product SO much more useful!

Easy accuracy Improvement for low price!.......2005-05-23
In practical testing on the trail, I have found that the Garmin V with basic antenna will lose satellite coverage significantly sooner than my GPS 12's. In fact there are times when the GPS 12 does not lose coverage at all while the Garmin V goes in and out. I installed a Gilsson Amplified GPS BNC external antenna for the Garmin V for some real-world observations.
I spent a few minutes doing some research on the web and the recommendations for mounting a patch antenna like this were pretty simply. Put it someplace where it has a 360-degree, unobstructed "view" of the sky. For me that could only mean one thing: I put it up on the roof rack.
Next I had to figure out where to run the cable. That was pretty easy. There is one small spot at the front corner of the top where it meets the windshield that there is a gap large enough for the cable to pass without being crushed. I released the top and fed it through. Then I covered the cable where it would be exposed with some wire harness covering.
I attached the antenna bracket to the roof rack. I mounted the antenna to the bracket. The antenna has magnets embedded in the base, but that doesn't make me feel very confident, so I ran two wire ties around it to keep it from wandering. I don't think the plastic will interfere with the signal. Then I wire-tied the cable behind the roof rack frame as best I could to provide some protection from tree branches, and to keep it from whistling when I drive. I have some extra cable to stash inside the cab.
The satellite reception results were pretty good. Where the accuracy was running about 42 feet on the internal antenna, it increased in accuracy to 15 feet. I had three or four satellites locked with the internal antenna; 8-10 with the external one. This bodes well for satellite reception in the woods.
Product Description
External antenna allows GPS signal reception in heavily shielded vehicles and those with heated or metallic coated windshields.
Amazon.com Product Description
Boost the satellite reception of your Cobra Nav One GPS navigator with this external antenna. Compatible with the Nav One 3000 and 3080 models, the antenna delivers improved GPS reception in heavily shielded vehicles or cars with heated or metallic-coated windshields. It can also enhance the signal when driving through crowded urban environments with large skylines or in rural areas with significant canyons and tree cover. By connecting the antenna, GPS operators will reduce the likelihood of interrupted service in the midst of a trip, making the drive safer and more convenient. The MNA 2300-EXT antenna plugs into your GPS's external antenna jack and comes with a 6-foot telephone-style cable. If the cable proves too short, operators can extend it using a standard telephone cable extension cord.
