A very well designed product primarily designed to overcome reception problems in cars with heated windscreens that can adversely affect reception. Easy to install (good magnet allows you to site the antenna vitually anywhere on the exterior of the car).
I have found that it also helps in towns and built up areas where you can lose reception for a minute or two. It is supplied with more than enough cable to fit it virtually anywhere on the vehicle, however this does cause the problem of what you do with the excess cable (along with the cables already going to the
power source). This can lead to a mess of cables trailing the dashboard. A permanent solution to this is difficult given the fact that it is not advisable to permanantly position a Tom Tom because of the rise in car crime.
These minor problems aside I would highly recommend this
product to anyone who has difficulty getting reception on their Tom Tom due to heat -reflective windscreens or even just for those who use their Tom Tom in town regularly.
It is a simple plug and play product that can be fitted and dismantled in seconds with ease.
