Vicki --- April <april@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi, Vicki, I have an external antenna on my helmet for one of my Garmin units. To keep it still and on top, I taped it at first. That looked bad, so then I started crocheting helmet covers with a little pocket on the inside to hold my antenna. I, of course, have no idea if you sew or knit or crochet, but that might be something to think about. You will get better satellite coverage with it on top of your head than on your arm if you're interested in maximizing your accuracy. You also might be able to use a tight, slinky helmet cover to hold it on. Something else to think about. As for accuracy, my Forerunner 201 loses about 1/4 mile in 10 miles, so about the same accuracy as yours. I have a Garmin GPS V that I use with my external antenna that is much more accurate, probably partially due to having an external antenna mounted on my helmet. I love having a GPS for helping me train. Much better than guessing, even with some amount of inaccuracy. My guessing is MUCH more inaccurate! LOL.
