A Waiste of money + time, February 4, 2006

Works great! My Roademate would not work well in cloudy or tree covered areas with the built in antenna. It works fantastic now with this external antenna.

Magellan High Performance External Remote GPS Antenna, January 11, 2007
This review is from: Magellan High Performance External Remote GPS Antenna w/suction cup mount for RoadMate 300, 500, 700, 760, Meridian Color GPS Receivers (SMB-F) 3ft cable with Antenna Windshild Suction Cup Mount (AWMG) (Electronics)
I live in Plano, TX and traveled to the northeast for a job, living in Stamford, Ct and working in Rye Brook, NY. I kept getting lost and a friend told me about Megellan GPS, I put in the addresses and go.
The area that I am in there are quite a lot of trees and buildings, maybe the cause of what I have experienced losing connection to the satellites
The external antenna is the greatest purchase that I have made besides the Megellan GPS. With the factory antenna I kept getting antenna signals sometimes in green (good signal) mostly in the Low (showed yellow) and sometimes no antenna (showed red). Using the Magellan High Performance External Remote GPS Antenna also amplifies the signal to the GPS; the Magellan compass is showing excellent antenna connection showing in Blue for a strong connection to the GPS satellites.
Now in the NY and CT areas, the only time I loose my signal, is going through long tunnels and I get almost completely through the tunnel before I loose the signal.
I have traveled to Chicago, IL. throughout Texas with the GPS and external antenna. I never get lost anymore, and have to stop and ask; "How do I get to ______?" With the GPS and the external antenna, I never feel embarrassed going into a convenience store or service station anymore.
This external antenna can be purchased for all types of GPS units. Good Luck and Great Traveling.
Enjoy driving once more and of course; Never Lost Again!
