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?

Thanks,
Butch


My Garmin 162 has an internal antenna and has no problem getting fast and
consistent satellite locks with WAAS or without. If the only thing the
signal has to shoot through is a canvas bimini top, such as in my
installation, I wouldn't hesitate to go with an internal antenna. Sure
simplifies the installation.
