I bought the folding antenna that attaches directly to the Astro and folds down the side.  DON'T BUY IT.  It adds absolutely no range to the small rubber antenna.  It is a piece of junk.

Mine added a good bit of range for me, before i broke it. I thought it was well worth the 30 dollars.
Needless to say, i will be ordering another one!!  Wink

I've noticed that alot of Garmin equipment is very inconsistent.
