Digital camera reviews of Gilsson Amplified External MCX GPS Antenna with Windshield Mount for Garmin Nuvi 660 765 855 885 TomTom Go 720 OneXL
Digital camera Review: Almost great, but beware of 90 degree connector failure
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted to love this unit as the reception is fantastic, but in just two days of light usage the 90 degree connector failed apparently due to poor design or manufacturing precision. The male hollow connector which connects into the GPS antenna receptacle is made of two pieces of brass. The connector is very tight fitting to ensure good reception. However, even with very delicate hands a lot of pulling power is required to disconnect the antenna. This places a lot of stress on the union of the male connector and the brass block which secures it. The two pieces pulled apart after just 6-7 connect/disconnects. I was always careful to pull the connector straight out of the GPS, never torquing it at an angle. There is a very slight lip on the brass male insert, but far from adequate to hold the two pieces together. In my opinion, most of these units with this 90 degree connector are destined to fail eventually. Very surprise nobody else seems to have experienced this. I talked to tech support and they admitted the connector is very delicate and essentially pressure fitted together. I high strength bonding adhesive made to conduct electricity could fix this problem at least temporarily (completely if done right at the factory).
Pros:
- Great reception
- Great price
Cons:
- Terrible connection fitting design
