When I hunt out of my hunting truck I have a 100 that is mounted on a triple mag mount antenna. I have a tuned truck antenna mounted to the body of the truck also that runs off the garmin frequencies (151-154 mhz) that I have hooked to my VHF truck radio. I can swap them both with each other if needed.

On my buggy I have 2 tuned antennas one for the garmin 100 and other vhf radio. I use the drive track.....because I cant see worth a flip and the numbers are not big enough on the garmin! LOL

I use a 220i on me with a folding antenna because I use the chest rig from dans and the other antennas are in your face all the time. Lot a guys like it around there neck. But it drives me crazy dangling when I am trying to tie a hog.

I think the terrain and location makes the biggest difference. I hunt a place near a huge power plant on the coast. Even with the best long range antenna the gamin struggles at 300-500yds max. I guess from all the electrical interference. Where out in the far places far from anything it gets much more.
