Hello -

I'm trying to use a GPS-00465 in a project involving an automobile. I've gotten the gps to work outside in clear weather, but the auto glass blocks a signal in a car.

Does anyone know of any mods (antenna maybe?) that can increase the signal strength?

Thanks!

Normaly Glass won't block out the GPS signal, try it as far forward on the dash as you can. Metal roofs do not help. If it just wont work you can do like most new cars do and put the antenna in a plastic weather proof case and put it in the back middle of the roof.
