This product is for multiple hunters and is intended to be
used with the
Garmin Astro Dog Tracking System. The DC
20 is not included with this product. The description below is
for the
Astro Combo Unit.
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 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.
Attach Collar and Go
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.
Track Dogs in Dense Cover
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.
Count Your Coveys
After you've captured your quarry, mark the exact spot with Astro's Covey Counter, 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 you flushed and took from
that location. Astro lets you save other special waypoints, such
as "Truck" and "Lodge," so you can save the location of these
places quickly and easily for each hunt. Astro also offers
special waypoint icons to represent food plots, tree stands and
other hunting-related points.
Experience Full-featured GPS
Astro shines when you're out on the hunt, but it also excels
in getting you back to your truck at the end of the day, or even
back home again. In fact, the Astro handheld has all the
features of Garmin's top-line handheld outdoor devices,
including a barometric altimeter, electronic compass, microSD
card slot, celestial information, area calculator and rugged,
IPX7 waterproof exterior. With optional detailed city street
maps, you can search for over 6 million points of interest and
create a route on roads with exact turn-by-turn directions.
