Pros
The antenna was easy to install and use. It seems to have solved my problem of periodically losing the satellite signal. I like its portability as I am an airplane renter and it must be removed and stored after each flight.
Cons
At the present, I have no negative points. I just hope its durability is not a factor.

Pros
Good sensitivity with the Garmin 96C.
Small and lightweight.
Good cable length at 8 feet.
Cons
Cost a little high.
Not specifically designed/optimized for aviation use.
General Comments
Seems to be designed for car or boat use primarily:
--The suction cup mount is not practical for mounting out of your view on curved plexiglass cockpit windows.
--The magnetic mount is not good for placing it on top of a plastic or aluminum glareshield, especially near your magnetic compass!
I modified the magnetic mount base for aviation use by peeling back the rubber cover, popping out the high strength mini magnets, and replacing the cover. It works well now buy placing on top of the glareshield where it meets the window in a wedge. The rubber base prevents it from sliding around on the glareshield even in turbulence.

The 96C stays in 3D mode more often. This increases the accuracy of the unit.

Pros
Fine antenna. Great reception, easy to install with Garmin 96C and Ram Mount
Cons
Suction cup mounting option is virtually worthless, at least in my airplane. It's better to get hook and loop fastner tape and put one side on the dash and the other on the bottom side of the antenna.
