Portable sat nav in Bora
Has anyone tried sat nav units with built in antenna such as Tom Tom
and Navman in a 2002 Bora? Does the windscreen cut out signal and is an external antenna needed? Or are there spots on or near the windscreen where such units will work well? Thanks John

Portable sat nav in Bora
I have a Garmin C320 and it works excellent without an external antenna. It
very seldom drops satellites, only sometimes when driving in city between high buildings. "John" wrote in message ...

Thanks John I use an iPAQ with a Holux CF GPS and TomTom5. Never had an issue with any of our cars. I loaned it to a neighbour and it worked fine in his Focus with the heated windscreen. HTH

I have a road angel and this worked fine in the MK4 Golf and works fine in a MK5 Golf too, you should have no probs in the Bora
