First reason was that I wanted to make sure I had a good ground plane, and I didn't want to mess with fabbing something up to fit in the overhead. Second, in IFR flight, I want EVERY possible advantage towards not having equipment failures or signal degradation. As unlikely as it may be, sticking the GPS antenna on the top was one less variable towards that goal. GPS pucks for non-ifr? I'd put those anywhere they get signal!
