I’m planning on using a 496 for a GPS unit. Has anyone else flying with this GPS? If so, did you use an external antenna, where did you mount it and what model antenna is it? Or, is the internal antenna OK?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, the remote antenna that comes with it work fine just put it up on top of the glare shield.

Albert;
My wife and I have been using the 396 with both external antennas, one being XM Weather/Radio. We learned right away that when flying northerly, the GPS antenna was best mounted in the back window of our C172, because it lost signal quite often. Maybe it was due to the high wings. Once we learned the game, we've been very pleased with the performance of the unit. Ideally, a permanent GPS antenna on top of the aircraft would give the best coverage.

I put the antenna under the cowl. It works great.

I installed both the el-cheapo external Garmin GPS antenna included with the x96/x96’s and Sat Radio Antenna on the glareshield, I considered putting them under the cowl but didn’t like sat radio electronics in that environment. For the GPS antenna we flush mounted it using an instrument blank cover and simple bracket and for the Sat Radio we used the Air Gizmos mount but built a small bracket to lower it a bit. Seems to work great in the shop, but not yet flying.
Photos of what we did start here and use “Next Image” to look at the next 5 for details if you wish.
