Trailblazer94 Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 I have been looking for a remote antenna for my garmin V. I'm looking at the mighty mouse II / titan II or the GA 26c offered by Garmin. Which is better? Will Garmin still warranty my unit if I use the Might mouse II? Quote Link to comment
Alphawolf Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Great antenna! I love mine. No problems with Garmin if you use it, and I guarantee it'll be cheaper than the garmin.

Trailblazer94 Posted January 1, 2003 Author Share Posted January 1, 2003 All the sites, and stores have the Might mouse II at Ten to FIfteen dollars cheaper, but as you all know, cheaper is not always better!! Quote Link to comment

I use a Mighty Mouse II/Titan III with my GPS V and I'm pretty satisfied. I don't see how Garmin could possibly know if you'd been using a non-garmin antenna. -Paul Quote Link to comment
+JDan150 Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I have goton 2 from gpsgeek on ebay for under $30 each. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1949277739&category=4668 Quote Link to comment
+Gliderguy Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I have two of the SM-76 antennas as sold by gpsgeek on ebay. I paid less than $30 for each. both will max out every bird in the sky, especially when stuck to the roof of my truck. (the magnets are very strong) The extra ground plane from being stuck on a metal object enhances the reception. Other than that, stand alone by itself, the SM - 76 seems to get roughly as good a reception INDOORS as my stock antenna does outdoors. I have no affiliation with GPSGEEK, just a satisfied two time customer. Quote Link to comment
Trailblazer94 Posted January 4, 2003 Author Share Posted January 4, 2003 That is great to hear!!! I have been looking for along time , and have no luck. Every sales person has a pitch about how theirs is the best. I will look on ebay and see what they have to offer. Quote Link to comment
