Loss of GPS signal

I have noticed using my (old) GPSMAP 195 that it occasionally messages 'poor gps coverage' but seems to recover.I am using a simple passive antenna that I rest on the coaming pointing skywards.
Do more modern units suffer this/any recommendation for antenna etc?
I noticed that the a/c I was flying on Sunday had a BNC socket and cable for a built in antenna but it is really short and on the RH 'A' pillar and my unit only has a MMC socket. ( can you get a 1 metre adaptor cable?)
