In what situations would you need an external antenna?  Would I need one
if the Garmin was put into a room on the 15th floor of a 30 floor building
in the middle of the floor farthest away from all windows?

BTW, the radio geeks at http://www.tapr.org/tapr have a low-cost kit that
looks pretty easy to assemble for use in your home network.
