Also GPS runs on an incredibly low signal and there will be an
insertion loss for the connector which could cause loss of signal or at
least a less reliable hookup to satelites.

The slight loss from the extra connector will be compensated by the shorter
cable. Come on guys, don't be so dramatic about a properly installed
connector. The satellite signals vary more due to the radiation pattern of
the antenna.
