So far, it has seen about 90 hours of use (20 in flight and 70 in truck). It's now difficult to find my way to the hardware store without GPS guidance. I need a better antenna solution while operating in the truck and would prefer not to write a check to Garmin for another $100 for their remote antenna and cable. Have any of you seen an inexpensive design for a GPS antenna which we could build ourselves? It would be both educational as well as fun I think.I have no idea what is inside your typical GPS antenna but it can't be much. Angier Ames
