Gilsson saved the day
(5 out of 5) by W. Spence on Nov 13, 2006I purchased a Garmin 330 GPS only to find that it had an impossible time finding satellites in our 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It seems that all the electronics in the car somehow interferes with satellite reception...the Garmin works fine in other vehicles, even if it's not sitting right on the dash. I mounted this amplified remote antenna at the top right corner of the windshield and have no problem getting a strong signal. The price was one-third that of other antennas on the market. Highly recommended!

Better reception antenna for Garmin
(5 out of 5) by D. Todd on Aug 27, 2006 (Atlanta, GA)Accessory antenna attached to windshield by suction cups is out of sight (except for the wire) behind the rearview mirror and increases the signal strength to my Garmin 60cs handheld GPS. Allows the handheld to be held under the metal roof for a closer look and handed to others in the vehicle without loosing the satellite signal. I'm very pleased.

Best available
(5 out of 5) by Doyle on Apr 5, 2007 (DAYTON, OHIO United States)I have a Garmin Street Pilot. The car I primarily use it in has an in-windshield antenna that prevents the Garmin from finding the satellites. I bought this, stuck it on the roof, and plugged it into the Gramin and it works better than it ever has. It finds the satellites as least twice as fast and never loses the signal. Have been using this for about 6 months now with no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend it.

Excellent performance
(5 out of 5) by JAGx on Jun 29, 2009This really pulls in the signals, and much more quickly than the built-in. Short cord good good for use on foot. Might be a bit short for some car layouts, but fine for my Sentra. Recommended

Love the active antenna
(5 out of 5) by Scott on Jun 6, 2009 (Phoenix,AZ USA)I have two of these for my two older Garmins and love them. I can get a signal in my garage with the door closed, it acquires satellites much faster. I was using it the other day and was impressed that it didn't loose the signal in a long tunnel, the radio lost the station I was listening too but the GPS didn't. One of the few products I have no complaints about it after using it for a while. Buy the window mount and just stick it up above your mirror out of the way and it will work great.
