I was going to make a similar suggestion.

I live in a simple one story house.  GPS reception is right on the edge.

The SiRF Star-III units work anyplace.  They may take a long time to lock up. 
 Their NMEA text is poor for timekeeping.  I haven't checked the PPS yet.

The previous generation, including the Garmin GPS 18 and SiRF Star-II, just 
barely work most of the time if I put them up on the top of the window.

I haven't tried next to the glass.
