Honestly, antenna impedance matching is not as simple as this. But hey, a much easier, cheaper hack is an RF reradiator. Are you listening Garmin, TomTom R&D departments? How about in marketing? Great parallel sales (accessory) idea. Put one on every bus!!!

Unfortunately, devices which re-radiate GPS signals can not legally be marketed in the United States because they operate in restricted frequency bands allocated for authorized safety-of-life operations only, so you won't see Garmin, Gillson, or any other company subject to US laws selling these. See FCC regs for more or simply do a web search for FCC GPS re-radiator for plenty of background. Makes this mod a bit more reasonable alternative.
