What is the best place for GPS antenna location?

The GPS antenna needs to be located with a good clear 360 degree view of the sky. The ideal location for the antenna is a roof-top. However, in practice the gps antenna generally works well on a window-ledge or positioned in a window.

As a rule of thumb, the better the view the antenna has of the sky, the better the signal lock and a good continuous uninterrupted time signal.
