 Garmin remote antenna January 9, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
After exhausting shopping for my Garmin the need for this antenna was somewhat uncertain. Since it was offered at a discount associated with my G 2730 I bought it. I don't need the antenna. The G 2730 has a built in antenna that even on WAAS does a supurb job on sitting on the slide-out cup holder from the dash of my F-150.
Helpful for Garmin 76CS GPS December 31, 2006

I own a Garmin 76CS GPS. Prior to purchasing this antenna, I would lose signal when driving in Boston- which is where I need it most! I now am able to keep signal almost all of the time (except in the tunnels of course.) Sometimes though the accuracy of the location goes to 80-100 feet and the GPS is unable to determine just where on the road I am currently located- but it doesn't completely lose signal.
From what I've read, the newer Garmin 76CSx models have a much better/sensitive chip inside them- perhaps for those models this antenna won't improve the signal much. But for the older models when driving between tall buildings, I've found it a necessity.
 Don't find any difference in GPS reception December 10, 2006

I recently bought the item and I am using with my Garmin Street pilot 2610. I don't see any difference after installing the external antenna.
Antenna works OK, Garmin needs a better antenna plug November 12, 2006

The antenna works well and obtains more satellites than the GPS units internal antenna. This easily solved the issue of poor reception when the GPS is inside of a car; however, the best accuracy I am able to obtain is 13 feet with this external antenna vs. the 9 feet using the GPS's internal antenna when in an open area. Garmin's external antenna connector plug does not attach very firmly and can disconnect easily when the units are moved around (on my GPS). I feel the antenna was worth purchasing.
Helpful, but not dramatic November 10, 2006

I bought the additional antenna for around $60 to improve the signal for my Garmin iQue M3 combination PDA and GPS. The antenna seems to help a little, but not significant. I needed any help I could get as I use the M3 heavily for work with lots of multi-state driving, and hearing "satellite signal lost" just when you need to make a turn, etc. is very aggravating. I found that locating on driver side, near edge of windshield helped in areas of dense trees (overhanging from passenger side of road). I use suction cup mount, I don't know if magnetic would help (though someone else commented exterior mount was much better), but wasn't sure how to route/connect "neatly" outside of vehicle or if I wanted to do this way.
