As of late this month Lowrance LMS-337C DF GPS will be available as an
LMS-339C DF IGPS with internal antenna. It is recommended fro use on
open
cockpit or center console boats.

For cost and ease of installation reasons I'd prefer to use an
internal
antenna unit. Seems to me that it would make little to no difference
in
satellite reception on my center console boat.

Do you agree?

No.

dedicated external antennas are always superior...

If this is recently released technology how do you know?

because they can only be one kind of antenna for a variety of reasons.
the only improvements is in algorithms and transmitted signal quality.
plus quantity of available satellites of course.

I would like to see a field test of the unit before I jumped to any
conclusions.

whatever...


Hey, as you know there are no absolutes in life Tom..........and technology
changes everyday.
