I have an DeLorme Earthmate GPS receiver. This weekend I decided to place the receiver on my roof through my sunroof. I was able to improve my satellite reception a lot, especially through thick forest. My question is, what effect would a homemade magnetic mount have on the GPS receiver if any? I am just a lowly Mech Eng and do not have a lot of experience in the "unseen" sciences . Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris D.
PS. I do plan to cover the receiver to make it pretty much water proof.
