Garmin Compatible High Performance Active External Remote GPS Antenna for StreetPilot, Street Pilot III, GPS V, GPSMap 176C (BNC, comparable to Garmin GA 26C) | Discount Price: $17.88

| Brand: Gilsson Technologies
I should have bought this years ago. [Posted on 2006-03-13] This is the perfect addition to the Garmin GPS (I have a Street Pilot III). Lock-in to satellites is just a few seconds (it could take as long as a minute with the stock antenna and there are some places near me where I would have to hit the "continue to acquire" button).
I cannot compare it to the Garmin GA26 antenna, but I can't imagine how it could be better, and this is a fration of the price.
I can't think of anything negative to say. You do need to snake the antenna up to the roof of your car, so that makes it a little less portable. The way I have it, it will take a second to undo, so I it is not a negative for me.
I have not tried the antenna inside the car.
Cheaper than garmin and works like a champ [Posted on 2007-05-05] What else can you say. It's less than 1/2 the cost of the garmin alternative and works just as well.
I hooked up to my Garmin Streetpilot III and greatly improved the triangulation accuracy.
Absolutely Satisfied [Posted on 2008-04-26] If you are using the earlier Street Pilot. This is an absolute necessity for rapid and better sattelite acquisition. I wouldn't leave home without it.
