Garmin Astro – the GPS Dog Tracking System

Garmin Astro GPS Dog Tracking System

If like me you get tired of searching for your hunting dog in tall grass or dense cover, Well now you can leave the hunting entirely to him. Here we have Astro, the first high sensitivity GPS-enabled dog-tracking system for hunters and sportsmen. This unique system pinpoints your dog’s position and shows you exactly where he is, even when you can’t see or hear him. The Astro system includes a bright color-screen handheld GPS device and a wireless transmitter, called the DC 20. To get started, just take Astro outdoors and turn on the handheld and transmitter to acquire GPS satellite signals. Then attach the DC 20 to your dog, either with the included dog harness or by threading it onto a 1-inch e-collar. Now you’re ready to turn him loose ? no other setup required. As often as every five seconds, your dog’s DC 20 transmits 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 point. 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. Waypoints/icons – 1000 with name and graphic symbol

4 Stars Excellent product and delivery with missing option
Everything was delivered to my full satisfaction except for one thing. The charger was delivered with adapter for US. This is understandable as it was delivered in the States, but there should be an option to change this as there are many of us having stuff delivered in US, and then brought home to Europe.

5 Stars Superb dog locator
My best buy for a long time. And Amazon and the seller did all very well and quick. The Garmin Astro is best choice for hunting dog tracking.

5 Stars DO NOT BE MISLED!
The rebate advertised for this product is NOT for this product, but rather for the update to the dog collar transmitter.

The rebate requires you to own both the DC20 dog collar AND the DC30 dog collar. You can purchase both if you wish, but if you buy only the handheld unit and the DC20, which is what this product listing is, you will NOT get the rebate.

Beware. Your price after rebate is NOT $349.99. It is still $399.99

5 Stars An Effective Tool for the Bird Hunter
I am a bird hunter and this a very effective tool to find fast a dog pointing birds. It is also very usefull in finding your location and the location of the dog in difficult conditions (fog, thick forest, etc)
