GPS antenna location
by DJDINO on Fri Jan 01, 2016 1:59 pm
About to mount the GPS antenna in the race car and assume the centre of the roof is the ideal location ? I was going to drill a hole in the centre of the roof and run the wire through a grommet. Is the centre of the roof (centre of car front to back) ideal ?

What material is the roof made out off?

As long as it is more the 10cm from the edge, stick it wherever is convenient.

May I ask why the 10cm setback from a rood edge?

It is to ensure a good area for the ground plane of the antenna, this increases the efficiency of the antenna.

Thanks.
would this be a good place to ask the different between the two GPS flavors offered by MoteC?
