You can probably even mount it out of sight if you want to.
My GPS 496 antenna is mounted on an aluminium bracket on top of the radio
stack so that the antenna surface is just below the top of the instrument
module. It's completely covered and still works perfectly - over 2 years
I've never had any reception problems!

Hi Ron
I have the Garmin 295 panel mounted and have the external aerial on
top of
the instrument panel looking through the windscreen in about the
centre of
the panel. Works very well and its slimline shape is not noticeable.
Cheers
