As far as the satellites and keeping them in view, certainly
any system without an external antenna will have that
problem. I think they all use the same receivers.


For systems using the WxWorx hardware, the receiver is the same, and the
small patch antenna is the same (lousy performance inside the aircraft).
However, Garmin designed and built their own receiver/antenna for the
GPSmap 396 (and presumably GLD69) and the 396 reception is excellent in
my experience.
