 external antenna for a garmin nuvi 660 June 18, 2008
only real good place to mount my GPS in my car is under the stereo, down between the dash and console, and the reception for it was pretty crappy, best i ever seen was 20-25 foot accuracy. i put this little jewel on the roof of my car, hooked it to the nuvi, and now, every gps satellite it picks up is pegged on the power meter, and accuracy has dropped to 8-9 feet. good enough for me!!!
 poor construction, poorer customer service May 18, 2008

The 90 degree connector makes sense, but is poorly constructed and cannot stand up to daily disconnects. The magnet is a silly idea, it just adds weight, puts your device's memory at risk if it gets too close, and will likely go unused if you're using this on your dashboard like most folks.
Trying to exchange my device with Gilsson failed - customer service ignored my emails, did not return phone calls, had no idea what happened to my RMA when I did get through, and finally claimed that my return was never received.
You likely bought a Garmin device because you appreciate the quality of their products; why not buy a Garmin brand accessory as well? Buy from Gillson at your own risk.
Works Great! May 17, 2008
Works great, and costs far less than the Garmin model. I get 5 bars inside the house now, so I can run my trip searches inside.
works as well as OEM, much lower price March 26, 2008
This antenna works perfectly with my Garmin GPSMap 195, though there is no difference in performance compared to the original Garmin antenna. This one is active, drawing a little power from the batteries, while the original is passive.
Since the performance is the same, the main benefit to this antenna is cost: about $20 instead of $100 for the original Garmin antenna. So while it didn't meet its claims of superior performance in my old GPS, it performs on par with the original while costing significantly less which makes it a good value.
P.S. the latest version of this antenna does NOT have removable magnets. I called Gilsson, they told me they changed the design of this antenna and no longer offer removable magnets, and they swapped mine for one of their last ones that did have removable magnets. Thus this antenna can no longer be used by pilots mounting it above the panel near the compass.
Wow! December 11, 2007
I currently live in PA, and FREQUENTLY got the "Lost satellite" message on my GPS. I can honestly say that since installing this antenna, I have not had a problem! In fact, I bought two more, one for my husband and one for my in-laws!
