(More customer reviews)I do a lot of hiking in state parks where I create detailed trail maps for the hiking guidebooks I write. I use a Garmin GPSMap 60CS, but I don't like to always have to hold the receiver out in front of me as I hike. By using this antenna, I can keep the GPS in a hip holster and mount the antenna inside my hat. It's fairly unobtrusive, but a little dorky if you look at me closely. In the past, I have always used the Garmin external antenna. It works great but is expensive. I needed a new antenna, so I decided to buy this one from Gilsson because it had received many good reviews on the GPS newsgroup and was very inexpensive. It has met all my expectations. It seems to have a little better sensitivity than the built-in antenna, but the real benefit is that it allows you to put the GPS wherever you want (like inside an automobile or on your belt) without losing sensitivity. As long as the antenna has a clear view of the sky you're fine. It doesn't come with any extras (mine didn't even have an instruction manual!) but it's not hard to figure out. Just snap the MCX connector into the connector on the back of your GPS (you need a model with an external antenna input) and that's all. The housing is much smaller than the Garmin, nicely made. Good cable, adequately strain-relieved where it feeds into the housing. I always route the cable through the metal D-ring that attaches the battery housing on the back of the 60CS, better protecting the fragile MCX connector. There are two magnets in the housing under a piece of tape. These allow you to mount the antenna to a magnetic surface such as an automobile roof. You can peel back the tape and remove them to reduce weight and avoid damaging magnetic media such as disk drives. It also comes with two flat-head screws you can use for permanent mounting. You can't beat this antenna for the price.
