External antenna gps - ok to mount on an aluminium bracket?

[Martino]

Hi there;

Fitting the external antenna kit, thinking of mounting the gps mouse on an alu bracket with it oriented “as normal”, beneath a rear window, and otherwise a distance away from metal. Will this work? Is it ok if it is on a small aluminium plate? Or will it degrade gps performance?

Thanks for advice

Has it got clear, unimpeded views of the sky?

Hi Martin,

As previously advised, perfectly OK to mount it on a small bracket as long as it is kept 'right side up'.

Just a minor point - are you aware that the GPS mouse contains a magnet - which of course won't stick to aluminium, but would mount perfectly onto a light steel bracket... (or you could of course use double-sided tape).

Best Regards

Peter
