works fine for meJanuary 11, 2007 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I also have the nuvi 660 and loke it I got bot of these together because I didn't want to have a problem with connecting to sats
without the antenna I get a 20-30 ft accuracy with it is always less than 10 ft most all the time
I use the magnet and have a 99 F-150 and put it on the roof just behind the center brake light I just took out the light and there is holes and you have to use a small rat tail file to make a U shape in the plastic on the light so the wire doesen't get pinched by it when back in place
the only problem with this is the type of wire used is low to med quality wire some high quality shieled wire there would be less leakage and a better signal
Garmin remote antennaJanuary 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 GPSDecember 31, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 receptionDecember 10, 2006 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
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 plugNovember 12, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
