Anyone out there running a GPS speedometer if so where did you mount your antenna?

I am using a GPS speedo and love it. I put the antenna on top of the turn-signal housing on my GM steering column. I have removed the turn signal stalk (use a push button system) and simply velcro'd the antenna module to the top of the little turn signal housing pad, with the wire tucked under the steering column running to the instrument panel. As long as it is exposed to open sky, and at least 3" away from any steel elements in the signal path, it works.

(Note: the little pad from the turn signal housing is behind the steering wheel spoke, below the blue dot on the dash.)

I'm using the SpeedHut GPS speedometer. I hardly even unwound the antenna and it's just
hanging around under the dash. Seems to work just fine, guess it's because there is no
metal blocking reception.
