Best location for RNS-510 gps aerial

Post by brian2.0TDiblue »

I've installed the Rns-510 in my scirocco but I'm having trouble with the sat nav, it's out by a good distance sometimes. I had it above the unit but it was generally bad so I moved it to above the glovebox. It is still bad though, I'm thinking maybe the gps aerial is crap (got it with unit from eBay)

Can anyone tell me where they have put theirs so I can be sure it's not location.

Thanks

I used to have it in the glovebox, but I didnt like it there (I can be anal about some things). So I moved it into the space above the vents.. Fantastic position
