Must Have for Vehicles with Coated Windshields, OnStar

My 2004 Buick Rendezvous has OnStar, Satellite Radio (XM), and a coated windshield. These factors prevented my new Garmin StreetPilot III from getting satellite reception. After talking to a few folks they recommended this item. As soon as I plugged it in using the roof mount I received great satellite reception- consistent and reliable reception. I have not lost a signal since.

The #1 accessory for your in vehicle GPS

This also works with my GPS V, as the Garmin web site said it would, although Amazon(.com) does not mention that model, the connector is the same.
Whilst the increase in signal is not outstanding using the suction mount to the windshield, it is definetly noticeable. The stunning difference came using the magnetic mount on the car roof. I've been seeing almost constant 9ft '3d differential' accuracy, although on overcast days it is a little less consistent. The cable could be a -little- longer to allow more discreet routing, but it should certainly be adequate for most people. I toyed with the idea of buying this for a long time; it seemed a little (...) for 'just an antenna'. I'm definetly not disappointed - well worth it.

Must Have Item!

The external antenna is essential for vehicle use. It allows the GPS to acquire more satellites faster and boosts the accuracy and reception in a huge way. It comes with a magnetic mounting, a suction cup mounting, and a screw-on mounting. It's a must have for any serious GPS user.
