5 out of 5 stars Fixed my Garmin NUVI 660   November 25, 2009

OMG - after months of frustration that my Garmin Nuvi 660 could not locate a satellite, I installed this antennae and it is back working better than new. It acquires satellites quickly and efficiently and is back working perfectly. I purchased my Garmin Nuvi 660 in summer of 2007. It has traveled extensively with me around the US, even on airplanes and worked beautifully for the first 18 months, then I had to reset it each time I changed locations and then nothing would make it acquire and hold atellites. After many conversation with Garmin and researching on internet, decided to try the external antennae and this one worked fabulously! Much cheaper than the $110 Garmin wanted to recondition my GPS unit. I highly recommend it.

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.


5 out of 5 stars Great fix for Nuvi 660 problem   September 14, 2009

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


5 out of 5 stars Great antenna - fixed my Nuvi 350 reception problem   March 13, 2009

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.
