Default Garmin GPS vs compass, where the hell do I mount this thing?!


Garmin 441s vs compass???
So I hear Garmin GPS will interfere with a standard compass. The best spot to install my new GPS is within 10 or so inches from my compass... the install instructions call for a minimum of 26" from any compass to avoid interferance. This sounds rediculous to me especially for an instrument that should be meant to be mounted on or near the helm. anyone have any experience with this situation? let me know if I can get away with mounting near my compass. also, will running the GPS unit off of an external antenna (mounted well away from compass) change this scenario at all? ok guys, gimme some knowledge here! I suck at tech and this is my first GPS...
