Garmin GA™ 38 GPS and GLONASS antenna with BNC-BNC connector is a rugged external marine antenna, designed to provide stable and accurate positioning by combining standard GPS and the GLONASS satellite constellation. The antenna is housed in a waterproof low-profile enclosure, making it ideal for both recreational and professional vessels where reliable navigation is critical.
The GA™ 38 is particularly well-suited for situations where built-in antennas have limited reception – for example, on boats with covers, metal, electronics, or instrument panels that can interfere with the signal. With three flexible mounting options, the antenna can be installed exactly where signal conditions are best: pole mount, flush mount, or under-deck mount (on the underside of fiberglass decks).
This external antenna solution provides greater installation flexibility, improved signal stability, and more consistent position data to compatible marine devices from Garmin.
