I have a RM 9616T-LM GPS that seems to not like its antenna. Since acquiring it well over a year ago it will constantly lose its signal, searching until it finds one and then it often goes through the same searching shortly afterward. Sometimes it will work flawlessly. My location seems to have nothing to do with it. The antenna wire is the one paralleled to the power cord I am assuming. I split the two and laid it out closer to the unit mounted on the windshield. The GPS shows the same issues no matter what vehicle I am driving and in vehicles that my Magellan 3045LM works perfectly. I originally attributed it to overhead cover as I first used it on heavily treed roads but after a while I realized it did the same thing in open parking lots.
I've seen aftermarket antennas available and although I don't want to spend money for something the GPS is supposed to do normally I also can't see where it would plug in either, and I'm not confident that it will fix my problem anyway.
