Garmin Astro Carrying Case
Garmin DC-20 Dog Harness |
Introducing Astro
220,
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.
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.

Dog Info Screen -
shows you the current state of each dog,
including the battery life of the dogs unit.
Also displays if the dog is running or on point,
how far the dog is from you at the moment, and
how far the dog has traveled. |
Map View Screen
- shows
each dog and any waypoints that
you have programmed in (truck, fieldhouse,
coveys, ATV, etc), the trail he has run,
and if your dog is running or on point. |
Tracker View Screen -
shows which direction your dog is
in, how far he is from you, and if he is running
or on point. Each dog will show
on the compass with a different color. |
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.
