      But you won't need to clear customs from UK to France AFAIK.
      Just called the customs office in Germany a few days ago and the assured me, that
      you don't need to clear customs (only immigration), if you arrive in Germany
      from the UK, since the UK is in the Customs Union but no Shengen member.
      
      So an airfield with immigration should suffice.

      I will put on my EE hat and surmise that the reason that Garmin
      advises against chopping your cable is a simple one.
      GPS RF is on the north side of 1.5 GHz. Quality cable like RG400 
      double braid is essential as is perfection in creating the tiny crimp 
      connections.  If you do not have the equipment and expertise
      to do the work, dont even try it. These are not your fathers
      PL-259/SO-239 radio shack connectors. A bad connection will 
      have more attenuation than a few feet of RG400.
      
      The dc voltage to the preamp is not a relevent factor, as
      a rusty nail could carry that.
      
      Yes, I think we have all heard that trope about specific cable lengths. 
      It is, IMHO, just marketing nonsense with no technical basis, since A) the 
      lengths are no where near a tuned wavelength Feedline, and B) All 
      modern receivers have AGC(automatic gain control).
      
      Full disclosure: I despise GARMIN avionics for their abysmal 
      Human factors design and their absurd data pricing.
