Problem:
To support my Garmin 2820 and the ability to receive XM (radio, traffic and
weather), I purchased a Garmin
GXM30 smart antenna. This antenna was pricy to say the least and did not
include GPS reception, only XM. To increase my GPS reception, I purchased a
Gibson antenna; details can be found
here.
My Solution:
I mounted my antenna on
the left side of my BMR Shelf since my
V1 is mounted on the right side. While BMR products provides two sided Velcro
for mounting accessories to its shelf, I always use small plastic zip ties for
added security. To use the plastic zip ties I drilled small holes in the shelf
that allows the zip ties to tightly secure the antenna to the shelf in addition
to the Velcro.
