GPS/GNSS Magnetic Mount Antenna – 3m (SMA) – Sparkfun GPS-00464
Normal GPS antennas are optimized for the US based GPS reception which is great but with more and more modules capable of tracking additional constellations (termed GNSS receivers) you’re going to need the right antenna! This exceptional GPS/GNSS antenna is designed for both GPS and GLONASS reception.
This antenna is proven to have achieved excellent TTFF and SIV statistics for both GPS and GLONASS constellations.
With a magnetic mount allowing easy mounting to a metal base such as a ground plate or car roof. The antenna is terminated with a 3m cable and standard SMA connector.
The super-strong magnet will hold this tight at speed of over 100mph… Obviously we didn’t test this in the UK!!!

Rod Colema –
Magnetic mount for vehicle top use. The performance is pretty good – even halfway out of my groundfloor window it gets a fix with the adafruit GPS in a short time from cold, and gets differential (SBAS) a little while after.I left it outside in the recen
