Astro 220 GPS by Garmin

Gone are the days of searching for your hunting dog in tall grass or dense cover. The Astro 220 GPS Dog Tracking System, is the first high-sensitivity GPS-enabled dog tracking system for hunters and sportsmen. This innovative device pinpoints your dog’s position and shows you exactly where he is in relation to you.

Attach Collar and Go
The Astro system has a bright, color-screen handheld GPS device and a wireless transmitter, called the DC 20. To begin tracking, just take the Astro outdoors and turn on the handheld and transmitter to acquire GPS satellite signals. Then attach the DC 20 transmitter to your dog, either with the included dog harness or by threading it onto a 1-inch e-collar. That's it! You're now ready to begin hunting.

Track Dogs in Dense Cover
As often as every five seconds, your dog 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. Looking at the "dog tracker" page allows you to view a compass pointing to your dog’s location as well as his current status: whether he’s running, sitting, treeing quarry, or is on point. And if you prefer, Astro can also sound an alarm to let you know instantly when your dog does go on point.

Astro's high-sensitivity GPS receiver can track your dog’s position even in the densest cover. You can track up to 10 dogs at one time with your Astro 220, 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 is great when you're out on the hunt, but it will also get you home again. In fact, the Astro 220 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.
