GPS in a steel bodied MH

[snowbirdtogo]

I have a Garmin Street Pilot 2610 which had the same problem till
I added a Garmin external antenna (GA-27C), purchased through
amazon.com FOR $62. The antenna is held by suction cups to the base
of inside windshield in front of dash, with enough wire to place
unit anywhere on dash. I have been using this setup for over a year
with good results. Without the external antenna I would loose
satelite signal quite often as you are, now the accuracy gets down
to 10-15' (7+ satelites).
