I seen a guy a few months ago using one with his garmin at the truck. He said it works good. My question is what frequency is the Garmin and what antenna is needed.

Garmin is 150 to 155. A Yagi Antenna for that frequency is kind of large in my opinion. If your near your truck one of those long truck antennas for about $50 works just as well.
If your on a horse and going into back country then the Yagi would probably be your best bet for distance.

If you know anybody that's into ham radio you could build your own antenna it is not hard at all to tune and antenna.

I build my own antennas for my radios and if I thought I would get much use out of a truck mounted antenna I would build one I just don't I think I would use it that often

The guy had his garmin connected to the old yagi antenna while he was standing by his truck. I didn't even know it was possible to even connect a garmin to a yagi. Garmin frequency is 150 to 155?

The frequency determines the size of the antenna. The Yagi in the garmin tanga is to big when I can do just as good with smaller antennas
