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
