Our take on the Garmin Magnetic Mount Antenna

The Garmin Magnetic Mount Antenna is a remote VHF antenna that sticks to a vehicle roof or hood and plugs into a Garmin dog-tracking handheld. It boosts reception for the Astro, Astro 220 and Alpha lines so you can keep tracking collars while driving. It is a single-purpose add-on, not a GPS unit itself, and only helps owners already using a compatible Garmin handheld and DC-series collar. Compared with the short stock antenna on the handheld, a roof-mounted antenna sits higher and clear of the cab, which is the main reason people buy it.

Questions and answers

Which Garmin devices does this antenna work with?
Garmin lists it for the Astro, Astro 220 and Alpha handhelds. It is not a standalone tracker and needs one of those units plus a compatible collar to be useful.
Does it improve tracking range?
It raises the antenna above the vehicle and clear of the cab, which owners say gives steadier collar reception at distance. Expect the biggest gain in open country, not in dense cover.
How does it attach to the vehicle?
A magnet in the base holds it to a flat metal surface such as a roof or hood. Clean the paint first, and avoid placing it where the cable will be pinched by a door.
Is it better than the antenna that comes with the handheld?
For vehicle use, yes, because it sits higher and outside the cab. On foot, the stock antenna is simpler and there is no cable to manage.
What is in the box?
The antenna with its magnetic base and attached cable. No handheld, collar or mounting hardware is included.
Will it work through a non-metal roof or a window?
The magnet needs a steel surface to hold, and a metal roof gives the best ground plane. On glass or aluminum it will not stay put on its own.
Where is the Garmin Magnetic Mount Antenna cheapest?
At The Twister Group, for $29.12, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Garmin Magnetic Mount Antenna?
2 stores we checked sell it, including TWIST, The Twister Group.
