Chris:

Take a look at http://www.gilsson.com/index.html. They've got a variety
of GPS antennas, amplified versions advertise tolerance of 2.5v - 12v.
Positive reviews in some Garmin forums, don't own one myself.

Hi Guys

I am researching GPS smart antennas (GPS Mouse) to feed to specific flight
air data / nav computers, has any one gone this route and can advise on
there experiences .

there are a few new GPS engines coming on to the market, Sirfstar 2 seems a
likely candidate, but all the smart antennas I have found are 3.3 to 5 volt
input, and magnetically mounted, what I want is no magnets and 12 volt
input, with out the added complexity of switch mode power supplies external
to the GPS, any one have any information on these problems?
