Garmin Astro 220 Bundle With Dc40 Collar 010-00596-20
Tired of searching for your hunting dog in tall grass or dense cover? Now you
can leave the hunting entirely to him. Astro is the premier high sensitivity
GPS-enabled dog tracking system for sporting dogs. This unique system pinpoints
your dog’s position and shows you exactly where he is, even when you can’t see
or hear him.
See Your Dogs’ Every Move
The Astro system includes a bright color-screen handheld GPS device and the
rugged, orange polyurethane
DC 40
collar. The collar accommodates most e-collar receivers — eliminating the need
to put two separate collars on a dog. Plus, Collar Lock creates a four-digit PIN
number that helps prevent others from seeing your dog’s whereabouts — a useful
feature in field trials to ensure that an Astro is used only as a recovery tool
when a dog in competition becomes lost.
To get started, just take Astro outdoors and turn on the handheld and
transmitter to acquire GPS satellite signals. Then attach the DC 40 to your dog.
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 40 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 seven 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
