Professional Review of Gilsson antenna:
Read a professional
review of Gilsson's GPS antenna from BC4x4.com, Canada's largest 4x4
and offroad site!
"I have a Garmin 2620
and the internal antenna just doesn't cut it when using the unit in a
car. I lost the satellite signal constantly. I began shopping for an antenna
and found that Garmin's is $99 bucks (gulp!). The antenna is perfect.
It has a nice magnetic mount, it is very small and I have not lost reception
yet. The signal is strong and constant and makes using my 2620 so much
better." - taucancri (from Amazon.com)
"I just received my new gilsson antenna
for my Garmin iQue 3600 today. After work, placed the antenna on the roof
of my car to try it out. Mind you I was parked underneath a parking deck,
in the middle of the deck, with about 4"-6" of concrete over
my head. Normally, immediately after I drive under the deck I loose all
satelite reception, which is no surprise since GPS signals don't pass
through solid materials...or so Garmin says.
I plugged in the antenna and turned on my iQue,
and to my utter surprise, I got a fix on my position! The gilsson sucked
in 4 satelites THROUGH CONCRETE! I can't believe how well it worked! Once
I drove out from under the parking deck, I immediately locked onto 11
satelites, 8 of them were at full signal strength, and WAAS lock. I am
shocked at how well this antenna works!" - Goose

"I used to think that an external GPS
antenna is not needed in most cases. I have re-thought that. Recently
I experienced a total loss of GPS signals in a strange city without paper
maps. I now have a Gilsson GPS antenna that I will not leave home without.

“I ordered an antenna for my iQue 3600. Extremely good price. Extremely
fast delivery. And the thing works far better than I thought was possible.
I'm a very critical online shopper, but these guys get all 5s out of 5s.”

"Excellent. Much easier to deal with than the mfg of the item."
- DD
"I just wanted to tell you that your products and service are amazing!!!
I was about to buy another factory Garmin data cable at Fry's but stumbled
onto your site.
For less than a Garmin cable alone I bought the data cable AND external
antenna! Not only that but the quality is much better than the Garmin
products. I don't know how you do it! I will refer my friends to you and
your great products and service!” - JK
"Super duper! stop wasting your money on Garmin!" - MD
"I just received my Gilsson antennas today (Monday). I placed the
order at GPSGeek.com on Friday morning! I also have a Garmin 27 antenna,
so I have done some limited comparison testing, including the internal
antenna. The Gilsson antenna was significantly better in all cases. Good
Job!" - RJ
"I received the amplified antenna for my GPS V last Friday, just
a few days after placing the order. I was shocked to see it so quickly.
Even better is to use the antenna – this GPS has never reacted so
fast to a signal, receives 6-7 satellites now. In the past I felt lucky
to get 2-3 satellites.

"I am simply blown away by the great
quality of the gps antenna that you sold me for yjr StreetPilot 2610.
Workmanship and functionality is super excelent. Picks up satelites
while inside my truck, away from the windows!!!" – RS
"Wow!!!!!! Your product is going to have a tough time matching
your customer service! Thank you for unbelievably fast and efficient
customer treatment." – MD
"Great experience! The remote GPS antenna for a Garmin iQue exceeded
my expectations. Delivery was very fast, two days." - JM
"Ordered an antenna for my iQue on a Wednesday and was using it
Saturday. I couldnt believe how fast it got delivered.
The antenna is a night & day difference from the built-in antenna.
Other than being in a tunnel, I havent lost my satellite sync since
I started using the antenna. Initially I was going to place the antenna
on the outside of my car using the magnetic mount. But with the signal
strength I have been seeing with it on my dash, I think Ill leave it
where its at." - JA
"These folks had what I was looking for and more. Quick, easy ordering
and really fast shipping. The components exceeded my expectations."
- DS
"The best service Ive had with an Internet Merchant. Great prices,
fast shipment, and everything was as expected. Will do business with
again, undoubtedly!" - JH
"I got a GPS amplified antenna from them plus some more accessories
for my Garmin GPSV - their prices are amazingly low - Garmin does not
even come close." - GT
"Gilsson has been a pleasure to deal with every single time. Their
products are all of excellent quality and have always shipped on the
same day that I have submitted orders. Their customer service is superb,
are very customer focused, and always go out of their way to keep you
informed as to order and shipping process. I am an extremely happy customer
and I would recommend them to anyone." - IP
"Gilsson Technologies has an excellent selection of high quality
aftermarket accessories at very competitive prices. They have become
one of the first places that I look when I want to purchase a GPS related
product." - RJ
"Lowest prices, excellent construction, high quality of the components,
fast shipping, clear and no stress service. Its hard to find a store
and a trader in this way!" - GL
"If more online merchants worked like Gilsson, the brick and mortar
stores would be in real trouble." - PS
"I could not be more
pleased--your antenna and mount are excellent, and your service was
unbelievable!!! ! You could easily charge as much for your product as
garmin does for theirs, which cost 3-4 times as much as your antenna
does.
I will recommend your company to my friends,
and i intend to email Garmin and suggest that they use your antenna
instead of theirs--yours is much better." - DP
"The best service I've had with an Internet Merchant, undoubtedly!"

"Fantastic piece of equipment!"
