The Garmin Astro GPS Dog Tracking System lets hunters and sportsmen
spend their time looking for game, rather than looking for their dog.
This unique dog-tracking system pinpoints your dog's position and shows
you exactly where he is, even when you can't see or hear him.
This system includes a bright, color-screen handheld Astro 220 GPS
device and a wireless transmitter, called the DC 20. Simple and easy to
use, you just take the Astro outdoors and turn on both units to acquire
a GPS satellite signal, then attach the DC 20 to your dog, either via
the included neoprene harness or by threading it onto an existing
1-inch e-collar, and you're ready to go.
The DC 20 transmits your dog's position to your handheld every five
seconds, showing current location as well as where he's been on the Map
page. The Dog Tracker page shows you a compass that points to your
dog's location, and lets you see your dog's current status, such as
running, sitting, on point or treeing quarry. The Garmin Astro can even
sound an alarm to let you know instantly when your dog goes on point.
The Astro 220's high-sensitivity GPS receiver can track your dog's
position even in the densest cover, and lets you track up to 10 dogs at
one time, up to five miles away in open territory. The Astro features a
Covey Counter, which lets you place a special waypoint that tells you
the exact location, time of day and elevation where you found your
prey, as well as the number of birds flushed and taken from that
location. The Astro also lets you save other important waypoints, such
as Truck and Lodge, and choose special icons to represent food plots,
tree stands and other hunting-related items.
