Garmin Astro 220 Dog Tracking Combo Unit + Accessory Kit Reviews

Tired of searching for your hunting dog in tall grass or dense cover? Now you can leave the hunting entirely to him. Introducing Astro, the first high sensitivity GPS-enabled dog tracking system for hu nters and sportsmen. This unique system pinpoints your dog's position and sh ows you exactly where he is, even when you can't see or hear him. Attach Collar and Go The Astro system includes a bright color-screen ha ndheld GPS device and a wireless transmitter, called the DC 20. To get sta rted, just take Astro outdoors and turn on the handheld and transmitter to acquir e GPS satellite signals. Then attach the DC 20 to your dog, either with the incl uded neoprene harness or by threading it onto an existing 1-inch e-collar. Now you're ready to turn him loose - no other setup required. Track Dogs in Dense Cover As often as every five seconds, your dog's DC 20 t ransmits his position to your handheld, and you can see his current location and a trail of where he's been on the Map page of your handheld. Switch over to the Dog Tracker page to view a compass pointing to your dog's location as well as his current status: whether he's running, sitting, on point or treeing quarry. Astro can also sound an alarm to let you know instantly when your dog goes on po int. Astro boasts a high-sensitivity GPS receiver that can track your dog's position even in the densest cover. You can track up to ten dogs at one time with Astro, at a distance of up to five miles away (depending on terrain). The system transmits information by line-of-sight, so it reaches farthest in flat, open territory. +PLUS+ ACCESSORY KIT: - Garmin Astro DC20 Transmitter - 8x21 Binocular MPN: 0100059600/k1 - UPC: 718122689002
