Garmin
Astro Combo Unit GPS Based Dog Tracking System
Leave
the hunting to your dog.
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 dogs position and shows
you exactly where he is, even when you cant 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 neoprene
harness or by threading it onto an existing 1-inch e-collar. Now
youre ready to turn him loose no other setup required.
Track
Dogs in Dense Cover
As often as every five seconds,
your dogs DC 20 transmits his position to your handheld, and you can
see his current location and a trail of where hes been on the Map
page of your handheld. Switch over to the Dog Tracker page to view a
compass pointing to your dogs location as well as his current status:
whether hes 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 dogs 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 youve captured your quarry, mark the
exact spot with Astros 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 youre 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 Garmins top-line
handheld outdoor devices, including a barometric altimeter, microSD
card slot, celestial information, area calculator, rugged, IPX7
waterproof exterior and a revolutionary 3-axis compass, which works
no matter how the handheld is oriented. 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.
