There are much more sophisticated systems on the market today that actually can lock on to a WiFi signal. That's what you want to get.
I have talked to truck drivers that use the free wifi at some of the roadside parks in Texas. They all said they had to go to a system like you are describing due to too many factors to list.

But once they upgraded they were happy with their purchase.

And the State of Texas? They are happy to provide the service as the cost for state resources has gone down due to a reduction in accidents among truckers. Anything the state can do to get a trucker to pull over for just a few minutes rest cuts the huge cost associated with the DPS working a semi accident.
