Was on Valley Creeks website today and saw an after market antena for garmin that replaces the rubber one. Supposed to extend to 17 inches I think. Anyone got one of these new antenias. If so, how much distance did it add to the remote as far as picking up signal goes. Guy

I got one. that fold brhind the garmin and will extend probally 17 inches. I do like mine I ordered it from ebay it was like $20 I do get a little extra rang e from mine than the old rubber one, but the best thing it folds behind the garmin and dont stick you in the side all night long.

Guy I just went and looked at Valley creek and I have the exact same one.

David do you have to extend it to get it to read, or will it work folded up also. Guy

guy,it works folded up but if i lose signal i just extend it out. i personally dont care for em but they do give you a little more range. also something you can do is update your garmin,i just done mine and had a signal about 2.5 miles and before i would get about 0.6....... hope this helps.
