External GPS antenna

It does matter where you put it as long as it has
an unobstructed view of the sky.

I just put mine on for trips so no pictures
but I have put it a number of places on the roof
and all of the locations worked fine.

I have never lost sync in canyons, trees, etc.

I think your main consideration would be
where to place it in a permanent location
with concealed wiring. Maybe under the plastic roof
carrier. The carrier should not interfere being made
of plastic but you could try it and see if there
is a difference in signal strength.

Chris Coyle had a nice installation. He put
it on the same bracket that held his CB antenna
attached to the rear hatch. You might see
if he still has a picture of it on his web site.
