Paracelsus is on a distinguished road
Yeah, I am aware that it is just an antenna, and have probably phrased that sentence a bit weirdly.

But the fact that it is just an antenna is what worries. With a wagon like mine you'd have to pull about 7-10ft of wire from antenna to dash where I intend to locate all parts. And the possible interference on that worries me. If it was antenna and receiver in one it would be cool. And relocating the GPS receiver near the antenna to cut down on antenna wiring length adds the problem of feeding power to the GPS receiver...

How have you wired it? Roof-mounted antenna, I assume, then near the roof to the front and down to the dash? Or from the roof down to the "floor" of the car and then under seats/carpet? Or do you have your GPS receiver / carpc located in the trunk?
