Why run an antenna to the roof, when you can put the entire unit on the roof in a weatherproof enclosure? Then you only need to run Cat5e or better back down, which probably is already in place in most cases...
Saves time and worry dealing with weak GPS signals and suitable antennas/coax feeds... If you can't move the signal to the device, move the device to the signal!
