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 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
neoprene harness or by threading it onto an existing
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, 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.
