Sorry to be a pain, folks. I have not used this in "anger" yet, so can anyone who has experienced its use tell me if, in a PA-28, I am like likely to need the remote antenna?
I have found that in a C172 you definiteyly need a remote antenna, otherwise you keep getting "poor reception" and "satellite reception lost" errors.

Also, having then bought a remote antenna, you'll find that the accuracy is far more precise. You don't need the Garmin unit at £80 though - there are plenty of units available on ebay for far less. I f you want a specific, I bought one, including mount for less than £25 - PM me for details if you need.
