Default Difffence between Gamin GPS antennas?

Jim -

I am considering a 4208, and am having a hard time figuring out the differences between the various GPS antennas Gamin offers, and exactly what comes with the 4208? Are there really three different antennas? Is there any real benefit to using one of the antennas that don't ship with the unit? I'm kinda confused, and the Garmin website isn't terribly helpful with regard to these antennas.

Thanks,

Mike

they come with the normal 17n antenna which hooks up with the power data cable. the 17x has the same functionality it just hooks up with nmea 2k connections. so what i'm saying to you is not to lose sleep over it they are basically the same.
