Title: works as well as OEM, much lower price
Review: This antenna works perfectly with my Garmin GPSMap 195, though there is no difference in performance compared to the original Garmin antenna. This one is active, drawing a little power from the batteries, while the original is passive.Since the performance is the same, the main benefit to this antenna is cost: about $20 instead of $100 for the original Garmin antenna. So while it didn't meet its claims of superior performance in my old GPS, it performs on par with the original while costing significantly less which makes it a good value.P.S. the latest version of this antenna does NOT have removable magnets. I called Gilsson, they told me they changed the design of this antenna and no longer offer removable magnets, and they swapped mine for one of their last ones that did have removable magnets. Thus this antenna can no longer be used by pilots mounting it above the panel near the compass.
