Kind of depends on what kind of receiver you have. If you have the 
option of an external antenna it may be money well spent. Have you 
ever stopped by here?

Good stuff to be found all over the place and these folks are pretty 
serious about their accesories.

FWIW

Has anyone mounted a GPS on their handlebars? I've seen two different styles of mounts and am wondering if vibration would be a problem. The simplest mount I've seen is pretty much a ring with a slot to slide the round attachment on the back of the GPS into. It's small also and wouldn't sit up too high. (I don't have a windshield.)
 
The other style is a ring with a swiveling arm that looks like it'd have less vibration, but I'm only guessing. I've used zip ties the only time I've attached it with a layer of foam between the unit and the bar. A mount would be easier tho.
 
Any suggestions?
