GPS App for Samsung Galaxy Tab E (mini)

Are directional cell phone antennas useful?
(Preview)
Specifically I was looking at a Wilson 314411 Yagi antenna, but don't necessarily limit any experiences to that antenna. I just seems to me that if you are in an area with weak cell phone signal you could mount a directional antenna on a pole and point it at the nearest cell tower to get better reception...

LED lighting

Does anyone have their trailer lighting (inside lights) wired primarily for 12V LED lights? Seems like this would be the way to go since they put out a good amount of light with minimal power draw, especially when boondocking to save the batteries.
