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...

I have a Garmin with the internal antenna. Garmin 160 and I rarely have a
problem. Mostly on lakes with high hills around it. But does the job
perfectly well in the ocean. And I do not have to mount another antenna.
