 "Much improved reception" 2009-09-20
By Clasina Gm Oneill (USA)
Using the Garmin Nuvi in een Prius in Washington DC is frustrating due to the amount of time lost "acquiring satellites". This antenna is easy to install (I put it on the front window shield right above the dash board) and the time needed to acquire satellites is much less.

 "Great fix for Nuvi 660 problem" 2009-09-14
By W. G. Smith
I own a Garmen Nuvi 660, that I have owned since 02/2007. Just this year it would no longer aquire satellites. In looking through the GPS blogs, I found that hooking up an external antenna was a cheaper fix than sending the unit back to Garmen to get repaired for $110! I opted for the external antenna option. I love this antenna and the fact that it comes with the small plate that allows you to stick it to the inside of your windshield. It is also magnetic for external installations as well. This unit also gives me stronger reception of the satellites. The Nuvi 660 has a feature that allows you to see the satellites and where and how strong the signal is. Often times there pegged out to max! I did buy this based on the reviews over the Garmin antenna. I can't speak for the Garmin antenna, but the Gilsson does a great job. Oh and thumbs up to Amazon. They have always come through with great prices and quick turn around. Thanks

 "Great antenna - fixed my Nuvi 350 reception problem" 2009-03-13
By Lantana Al (Lantana, TX USA)
My Garmin nuvi 350 received satellite signals fine at first, then later (months after) started have trouble acquiring satellites and sometimes lost them for long periods of time. I did a little research and it seems possible that there is a problem that can occur where the GPS thinks an external antenna is attached when it isn't (due to a defective or failed part). Plugging this antenna into my Garmin has so far completely resolved the reception problem. This antenna seems well built and designed and the reception seems excellent too.

 "Perfect for me" 2008-11-22
By Sideshow Rob (Washington, DC)
I needed an external antenna because the best place to mount my Garmin C330 is in the ash-tray space under the radio in the center console. I never got great reception with the GPS largely shielded by the dash. This antenna immediately and dramatically improved the strength of my GPS signal - from 1 bar in my driveway to 5. I no longer loose a signal in heavy woods or in cities. Best of all, this product came with the suction-cup mounting bracket, though the strong magnetic base on the Gilsson sticks to parts of my dash without the bracket. Best of all, I can now keep the GPS out of sight, and the antenna removes in 1 second when parked and can also be kept out of view.



I have no experience with the similar Garmin antenna, but this one provides me with a full 5-bar signal strength everywhere I've tried it.

 "Great Improvement over build-in Antenna" 2009-07-27
By Choy Ngee Hoe (Melaka, Malaysia)
My Nuvi 360 always take long time (more than 15 min is common) to lock in satellites when I am using it in the car. Placing it very close to the wind screen did not help. If it ever work, I got 3 bars in average and frequent "Weak Satellite Reception" message. It got worse when I am driving around tall buildings and fly-over, as in a city like Kuala Lumpur. Weak signal also cause many other problems. It sometime found me on the wrong street (and recalculate), keep moving when I stop at red light (predictive movement ha, smart programmers?), and turn to opposite direction when I am not. So you can guess how helpful this Nuvi was to me.



I am living in Malaysia, where we always have at least of 7 layers of clouds, 30" of annual rain, 30-35 deg C day temperature and probably about 70-90% humidity throughout. Adds tall buidings, fly-overs, well grown trees and heat shielding windows film, maybe it is too much to ask from the little Nuvi.



I tried the Nuvi in California and it got full bars all the time, inside the car. Lucky Californian!



I found about external antenna after Googling briefly. Not very convincing (maybe it is no brand?) initially but thought nothing much to lose at $17 (plus shipping) from Amazon. What's a pleasant surprise! Not only the GPS able to lock in within minutes, full bars becomes a norm now. Signal strengths are doubled to almost 80-100% and I can see a lot more satellites are locked. Accuracy improved from 9-15 meters to 5-9 meters. Tall buildings, fly-overs, tall/full grown trees and bad weather would drop the signal to 3 bars at times but it never turn red anymore. All this with simply plug in the antenna to Nuvi and let the receiver lying on the dashboard!



This thing really work and I am buying 2 more as gifts for my friends. I have never tried other more expensive brands such as Gilson and Garmin, but I think this one is near perfect. Why spend more?



I strongly recommend this product.



Pros: Lock satellites much quicker. Improve signal strength significantly. Small, humble looking receiver that blend in with black dashboard and wouldn't draw unintended attention. No power supply needed. Wire is long enough that the GPS unit can be installed anywhere in the car. Excellent value.



Cons: How to route the wire neatly around the car?

 "Did not fix my Garmin Nuvi 350" 2009-06-07
By Meg Ford (the South)
After reading reviews, I ordered this antenna hoping it would enable my Nuvi 350 to acquire satellites. It did not help. The Garmin Nuvi 350 still does not work at all.

However, the product seems well made, and it did connect easily.

 "Works, Pure and Simple" 2009-04-17
By Yong K. Jang (Baltimore, Maryland United States)
My Garmin Nuvi 350, after about 20 months of use, suddenly became incapable of tracking satellite signals. This attaches an external antenna and now the signal is better than it ever was, including in cities where even in the best of days it would constantly lose signal. In open roads I have no less than 10 simultaneous satellites being tracked.

 "Resurrected My Nuvi 360" 2009-04-07
By D. Quance
After a year or so, my Nuvi 360 was having trouble acquiring and holding the satellites. It got so bad, it wasn't worth using and counting on it.



I bought this little external antenna, and now I'm back in business.



Don't let the low price fool you - it's delivering for me.

 "cheap and effective antenna, fixed my Garmin" 2009-03-28
By John E. Vidale (Seattle, WA USA)
This antenna performs as advertised. My Garmin Nuvi GPS was suffering increasingly intermittent connections with satellites. Eventually, it would only rarely locate my car, and several times I had to resort to my phone's GPS to get where I was going. Apparently, from browsing the web, this is a fairly common problem for Garmin units.



I was procrastinating before spending hundreds of dollars on yet another GPS, when I spotted a claim of this solution on a random web page, and then found it on Amazon and saw favorable reviews.



It still might take up to 30 seconds to locate the car when starting, but then the connection is rock solid. At about $20, it is a tiny fraction of the cost of a new GPS unit. The cable is longer than necessary, about 6 feet rather than the necessary 1 or 2 feet, but the antenna itself is compact. It makes putting the unit out of site slightly more cumbersome, with the extra wire emanating from the GPS, a minor hassle.



[a few days later - after looking at the extra for a while, I wrapped it around, out the door, and used the magnet under the antenna to stick it on my car roof - the extra cable is actually a good thing.]



Instructions were minimal. The user simply plugs the cable into the little connection on the GPS antenna flap that lifts up from the back of the unit.



It worked for me, thanks Amazon and its diligent and accurate reviewers.
