Improving the eTrex reception?

0

While flying commercially, I had to jam my etrex against the window to get any inkling of aircraft speed. Move away and forget it ! I couldn’t receive when I moved away from airplane window. Then I cradled top end (internal antenna) in a piece of aluminum foil from my lunch and it started picking up satellites ! Not very scientific but it worked. I don’t think that this causes multiple path errors since any bounces and reflections are so close to the internal antenna. Try it in a house when you move away from window just enough to lose reception.
