GPS antenna
« on: August 30, 2012, 10:28:18 pm »
Do gps antennas vary in their reception sensitivity or are they all much the same?

If they differ to a significant degree, which ones do you recommend?

depends where you put it

If it is under the mesh centre airvent the signal can be lost as it shouldn't be placed under anything metal

there is a small void at the very front where the dash is bolted down or behind the instrument cluster is where I place them
