That antenna right there is a mag mount active (powered) antenna and made to be used outside so weather doesn't bother it. And right now I'm still using it with an old Garmin GPSII unit that needs the antenna outside since it doesn't receive very well compared to the newer receivers. I can get just a good a signal/lock using my new Holux receiver inside the car on the seat as I get currently with that external antenna and the old receiver.

So eventually I would like to hide the antenna and integrate my new gps unit. Just haven't done that yet.
