What model is it? Did you install it correctly? Where you having GPS problems to warrant the modification?I bought the GPS
tower off eBay.
The claim is
no compass error
messages, quicker satellite connections.
my experience is .
IT DOES NOT Work.
Maybe it will work for you.
My hopes were high
until I saw the message.
COMPASS. ERROR

I meant what GPS tower did you get? If you aren't having problems with GPS, it may not be worth the upgrade, it may be difficult to see an improvement, against something which is working correctly, obviously if there issues then that's different.Trust me it installed correctly. It was not launched from an area high in Electrical Area.
Mine is the TY - H

Check it out. Seems to take forever to
aquire satts. I did get
compass error messages
Just a comment, a riser or tower by itself won’t have a negative impact on the GPS. You could leave the GPS unit exposed and loose on top of the body and it generally would not do much worse that where it had been mounted previously.
What will have a negative impact is the installation of wires, connectors, new copper shielding, and things of that sort. The mini JST connecters used in the H are very fragile. If you crack or break a housing it’s very easy to end up with loose pin connections, with associated issues. Trying to install a connector upside down in a housing will be a problem.
Look again at the installation to be certain all is as it should be.

HI Keith,
I would call the $7 eBay gps relocator a pancake, as has been discussed in numerous earlier threads.
The maker of the pancake used the word TOWER to gain sales on the back of my TOWER as it is cheaper and as others have said after they purchased it , poorly manufactured, does not provide ventilation and as one who tried it out said that 'if you pay s--t you get s--t ' end of quote. Keith unless you are haveing gps or compass warnings there is no need for either mod. Mine was invented to serve a purpose for my roof and building inspection business and it has achieved that and more.

HI KEITH,Thanks for the info.
Will you provide me with the info of the one you have ? Just curious.
Thanks Keith
HI KEITH,
I REMEMBERED THAT YOU HAVE A VISION PROBLEM SO THE BIG TYPE IF NOT YELLING AT YOU.
YOU CAN GO TO MY SITE uneekideaz.com and there at the top you can read about the reason for the TOWER and then in the video section you will see some temperature tests with std top shell and the pancake type and then my TOWER . There is an instalation video with a new one coming nsoon with all fittingsorts for the 480 the H+ and the 520. If you have trouble there are threads here called
Relocation of the GPS and compass module, keeping the H cool and most of them are several pages.
Regards Johnno Hennessy.
