| Even though you might acquire many sattelites, the GPS only uses a few of them. The closest, or those with the strongest signals. A 12 stalellite receiver doesn't use all 12 it can acquire for accurate postioning.
I have mine on my front cap and I get great accuracy. I have a Terrova that blocks alot of the horizon, and I always have plenty of satellites available. Last boat, I had the receiver mounte on the dash, right behingd the X-15, and also had great reception and accuracy. Heck, mine locks in through the windows of my garage! I wouldn't woory about placement so much. I'd be more concerned that it is in a spot where it is protected from damage. Its really not that big of a deal.
