GPS in a steel bodied MH

[Jack & Donna Smith]

For what its worth: I use a Garmin GPS111+ for a speedometer only, as
I cannot find a replacment speedo gear for my MT40 tranny. I velcroed
the GPS on a bracket just above the speedometer. Have had no problem
with sattlite reception.
For navagation, I have a Co-Pilot connected to the laptop. I just
place the white GPS thingy next to the windshield B/T the dash AC
vents. This has also worked well.
I am not sure about the outside antenna, as i have never used one.
BTW/ I also use the 111+ in my Jeep. It works OK, but the Jeeps
hardtop is made of fibreglass.

Garmin for their recommendations as we have used their system with
outside ant. in our last WL. They don't really seem to have a good
answer now. Before we had a Garmin 17N, which has been superseded by
another 17 ?? which still uses a serial port. We would like to get
something with a USB port since most new laptops do not have serial
anymore.
