This unit's package includes the EGC-12w GPS module. This device
contains the unit’s external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS
signals. The antenna/receiver module comes with a 25-foot extension
cable. This module can be mounted on a flat surface or pole, or a mag-
net is included for temporary mounting on any ferrous surface.

You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, un-
obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, route the cable
to the unit, plug it in the center socket on the back and your system is
ready to use. See the module's instruction sheet, publication part num-
ber 988-0148-371, for complete installation directions.
In an automobile, you may achieve good results by simply placing the
external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield. a
piece of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material available in recreational
vehicle supply stores will help hold the antenna in place. This may not
work well if you have a cab-over design pickup truck camper or motor
