My Magellan Map 330 worked anywhere inside my previous house in TX that was 2500sqft. Exterior walls were hardiplank. Here in AZ, it is 4 feet from a window and can't get a lock. Exterior walls are typical AZ...the wire mesh with the exterior stucco or whatever it's called out here. Heck, I can have it sitting on the sill and will only get a lock if I am lucky. I took a couple of airplane trips between San Antonio and Phoenix. I could only get a lock if I kept it up to the window. As for vehicles, whether I was in my minivan, now my truck or in my wifes car, it works like a charm anywhere inside, including the middle. Kept a lock all the way from Phoenix to Las Vegas. I even waypointed some benchmarks on Hoover Dam. On Mon, 14 Mar 2005 21:49:23 -0700, Brian Casteel wrote: > Quite a few models offer options for external antennas.
