Definitely improves satellite reception December 11, 2007
I have a 2007 Camry with one of those windshields that interferes with reception on my Garmin c340. Got tired of losing the satellites and got the Glisson antenna (with a 9 foot cord, didn't think 3 foot would be enough) which virtually eliminates satellite loss. I wrap the cord around the rear view mirror once and stick the rest up between the sunroof and the sunroof sliding shield. Works great up there. Didn't have to run it outside like I expected to. When updating my Garmin destinations indoors, I can now easily acquire satellite signals. which I could not do before connecting the external antenna, which just demonstrates the difference it makes.
 OK October 12, 2007
The tinted windshield on my Mazda Protege shielded my Garmin C330. Under cloud cover or rain, it couldn't acquire satellites, although the Garmin C330 works fine in my Fiero.
This antenna gives me good reception. It must be placed on the flat of the hood. With the 3' wire, I can't reach the roof. When on the slope of a fender, the antenna was useless. I wish I had clicked the 6 foot cord, because the 3 foot cord is almost too short, and limits where I can place antenna and the Garmin. But it works.
The antenna is not easy to disconnect or connect to the Garmin, so the quick-disconnect windshield mount only is quick if you leave the antenna plugged in; another reason to get the longer antenna wire.
Of course the magnet mount won't work for plastic-body cars like Fiero, Saturn, or Corvette.

I have a Garmin Street Pilot. The car I primarily use it in has an in-windshield antenna that prevents the Garmin from finding the satellites. I bought this, stuck it on the roof, and plugged it into the Gramin and it works better than it ever has. It finds the satellites as least twice as fast and never loses the signal. Have been using this for about 6 months now with no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend it.

I purchased a Garmin 330 GPS only to find that it had an impossible time finding satellites in our 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It seems that all the electronics in the car somehow interferes with satellite reception...the Garmin works fine in other vehicles, even if it's not sitting right on the dash. I mounted this amplified remote antenna at the top right corner of the windshield and have no problem getting a strong signal. The price was one-third that of other antennas on the market. Highly recommended!
Better reception antenna for Garmin August 28, 2006

Accessory antenna attached to windshield by suction cups is out of sight (except for the wire) behind the rearview mirror and increases the signal strength to my Garmin 60cs handheld GPS. Allows the handheld to be held under the metal roof for a closer look and handed to others in the vehicle without loosing the satellite signal. I'm very pleased.
