Re: SatNav antenna

["John Nye" <john@xxxxxxx>]

There is a list somwhere (will see if I can find it) of vehicles that
suffer from the problem of signals not getting through windscreens. Did not
pay too much attention as mine wasn't on it - it may suggest a solution
though. Will have a dig around

Chaps,



Is there such a thing as a "re-radiating antenna" for an in-car
satnav??



Since I changed my car a couple of months ago, my Navman jacket is
hopeless at getting a satellite lock, and I think it is because I have a
heated front windscreen, and the fine matrix of zigzag wires in the
glass must be scattering the signal.... (or something...)



So I'm hoping there is something that I can get that I can stick to the
glass somewhere to pass a good signal through the windscreen....



Am I going to be in luck?



TIA
