REMOTE ANTENNAJuly 22, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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 EnoughJune 9, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
Garmin GA 27C Remote Antenna with MCX ConnectorMay 17, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Works wonderfully, and 8' is adequate cable for most situations.
Improved Performance & VersatilityMay 13, 2007 The remote antenna has improved the performance and versatility of my Garmin Quest 2. It has improved the performance by increasing signal strength. My Garmin finds GPS satellites much quicker and my location is more accurate. It has improved versatility by permitting me to place the body of the Quest 2 in locations out of satellite view.
Necessary accessoryMay 12, 2007 Did not know when we purchased the Street Pilot i5 that you had to have this antenna. Before we could not get connection, but now that we have the antenna, our gps works great.
