GPS performance will be optimum. The integrated adhesive
patch will allow easy attachment to a window or non-

Determine the best location for the GPS Antenna
• The antenna is to be installed inside the vehicle – it is not
waterproof or weatherproof.
• The top side of the antenna module (identified by the
peel-and-stick adhesive patch) must have a clear signal
path to as much of the sky as possible.
• If the installation is not required to be covert, an ideal
location is on the front windshield glass.
• For covert installations, an ideal location is under the
dashboard, as high and close to the front windshield as
possible (see diagrams).
• If installing in a car, the antenna can usually be mounted
on the rear window or in the trunk, under the rear deck,
as close to the rear window as possible.
• If there is not a suitable flat mounting surface on which
to stick the integrated adhesive patch, affix the antenna
module in place with a caulking type adhesive or plastic
tie wraps.
• Coil and secure any loose or extra lengths of antenna
cables - do not allow antenna cables to kink.
