I have a Garmin 162 that came with an external antenna on an (IIRC) 25'
cable. I e-mailed
Garmin asking if I could shorten the cable. They said no problem, but
since we can't
be responsible for the quality of the connection, it will void the
warantee on the antenna
(not the GPS). Since it was already out of warrantee, I shortened, and
installed one of the
Shake CenterPin BNC connectors. Works fine, and I have a little bigger
signal strength bars.

What are the ramifications of shortening the cable by cutting and
spliceing? I've heard conflicting advice.

Thanks.
