Need An External Antenna

[Col_Freeman]

My accuracy has been a little off lately and I was wondering if anyone has an external antenna for a Garmin GPSmap 76s.

 

Thanks,

They are always available on ebay.

 

Checked your profile. You found 4 caches today with another cacher.

 

The other cacher has a few more finds than you, so you both have your own GPSr?

 

I have the same unit, and it works great. What are your accuracy issues?

 

An external antenna will give you a stronger signal which can help accuracy if you had been getting weak reception.

 

But I don't think you need an external antenna to find caches.

 

And I own 2 external antennas, bought through ebay.

 

Do you hold it pointing straight up to aquire satellites (not lying flat like the compass wants to be held).

I have a 76S and have never need the external antenna to find a cache. I do have an external antenna and use it when I want to record a really accurate position. I am very happy with the price and the service I got at GPSGEEK.com

i have a gpsmap 76cs, that REALLY needs an external antenna. the reception absolutly sucks.. when i get into the bush i have no usable signal at all and have to switch over to using my 10 year old eagle accunav unit, which just about recieves through concrete..

 

had a legend, loved it, also had great reception. It was smashed in a tumble down a mountain in the dark.

I have a 76c and i got a Gilsson external antenna from gpsgeek.com, which works great. reception was spotty in dense tree coverage, but okay otherwise. i think you can find them for cheaper on eBay though. the main gilsson site is pretty useful too (http://www.gilsson.com).
