AIS transponder GPS strength

I am considering replacing my AIS receiver with a transponder. It is equipped with a built in GPS but also has a port for an external GPS. I want to switch it out with my receiver that is located in the pilothouse next to the onboard PC. It is basically inside a cabinet behind the helm. In your experiences, do you think I would need to add an external GPS, or is the internal GPS generally powerful enough for reporting my AIS position? Thanks
