My Garmin Nuvi 350, after about 20 months of use, suddenly became incapable of tracking satellite signals. This attaches an external antenna and now the signal is better than it ever was, including in cities where even in the best of days it would constantly lose signal. In open roads I have no less than 10 simultaneous satellites being tracked.
After a year or so, my Nuvi 360 was having trouble acquiring and holding the satellites. It got so bad, it wasn't worth using and counting on it.
I bought this little external antenna, and now I'm back in business.
Don't let the low price fool you - it's delivering for me.
This antenna performs as advertised. My Garmin Nuvi GPS was suffering increasingly intermittent connections with satellites. Eventually, it would only rarely locate my car, and several times I had to resort to my phone's GPS to get where I was going. Apparently, from browsing the web, this is a fairly common problem for Garmin units.
I was procrastinating before spending hundreds of dollars on yet another GPS, when I spotted a claim of this solution on a random web page, and then found it on Amazon and saw favorable reviews.
It still might take up to 30 seconds to locate the car when starting, but then the connection is rock solid. At about $20, it is a tiny fraction of the cost of a new GPS unit. The cable is longer than necessary, about 6 feet rather than the necessary 1 or 2 feet, but the antenna itself is compact. It makes putting the unit out of site slightly more cumbersome, with the extra wire emanating from the GPS, a minor hassle.
[a few days later - after looking at the extra for a while, I wrapped it around, out the door, and used the magnet under the antenna to stick it on my car roof - the extra cable is actually a good thing.]
Instructions were minimal. The user simply plugs the cable into the little connection on the GPS antenna flap that lifts up from the back of the unit.
It worked for me, thanks Amazon and its diligent and accurate reviewers.
First of all, the item in the picture looked large. To me it looks larger than a pack of cigarettes. The image is misleading in size of course. It's really about the size of a hotel matchbook. Little bitty.
I wasn't concerned that the length of the cord would be too long because I planned to hide the wire which would mean I would need lots of extra cord. In fact, in hindsight I wish I had purchased one that was longer but this one will do.
I originally purchased this because I often drive in downtown Dallas and the skyscrapers often blocked my reception. The GPS would "recalculate" just in time for me to miss my turn and then have to recalculate again and wouldn't you know it, I missed that turn too. It was just taking too long to acquire a better signal and since I didn't know my way around downtown, I would get lost until I could get away from the skyscrapers. Not to mention, I couldn't pull in a garage or go through a tunnel without messing everything up. So about 10-15 bucks later (after shipping), the problem is resolved.
This item is awesome. From the minute I turned on the GPS, it acquired a signal and was "ready to navigate" way before I was. I'll say it takes around 5-10 seconds at most whereas it used to take sometimes up 5 minutes to "acquire satellites"...and I live in the city.
I mount it on the top of my car and the cord is pretty thin and this allows me to roll up my window all the way. Too bad it doesn't come with a way to mount it on your dash without just laying it there in hopes that it won't move unless of course your dash is magnetic.
I washed my car today at a drive through car wash at a gas station. No leaks. Though, this is probably due to good weather stripping because my car is only a few years old.
So that's it. You will be pleased with this item. I promise.
If you're going to hide the wire, buy one of the same brand but with a longer cord (you can always hide the excess cord). You don't need to buy a big expensive fancy one to get good reception. It's only an antenna and you don't need bells and whistles.
Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS NavigatorFor the moment; it appears that my nuvi 350 is back in business. Doe anyone know anything about the antenna? The description is pretty week here and it didn't come with any information? Who makes? Does it have a battery that will eventually need to be replaced? I recommend the product!
