Garmin Astro Tracking Unit
Item Number: GA220
Availability: In Stock
The Garmin Astro is the first GPS based tracking unit on the market today. The Astro comes equipped with a handheld receiver, the Astro 220 and the transmitter, the DC 30 that attaches just like a regular dog collar. The newly designed DC30 keeps the unit secure on the dog while maintaining its antenna position in the optimum position for great transmittion. It is convenient, comfortable and easy to use. The DC30 relays your dog's status info to your handheld unit via radio signals. It has an update rate of 5 seconds and reaches up to 7 miles in line of sight. You will know if the dog is pointing, sitting, moving or treeing game. The Astro 220 handheld unit can be used to track up to 10 dogs at once; all you have to do is add additional DC 30 units, which are sold separately. The best part is that the Astro 220 handheld is a full feature GPS unit. So, when you head out on excursions without your four legged companion you can fully navigate your own way. It features all the conveniences of Garmin's award winning hand-held units, including, long battery life, color display, IPX7 waterproof exterior, turn by turn directions, barometric altimeter, a microSD card slot for maps and an electronic compass. It also has hunter specific features like waypoints, a dog info page and tracker page, and a covey counter. This is truly a unique tracking item. Receiver runs on two AA batteries which will operate it for 24 hours, or it can be plugged directly into an A/C outlet. The transmitter has rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and will run for 17 hours between charging. The base package includes: Garmin Astro 220 handheld, the DC 30 wireless transmitter, a carrying case, a lithium-ion battery pack for the DC 30 transmitter, a vehicle power adapter and AC adapter for the DC 30 transmitter, a trip and waypoint manager CD, a USB cable, a wrist strap, a belt clip, an owner's manual and a quick reference guide. The magnetic antenna accessory is sold separately and can be plugged into your receiver to help your signal from inside a vehicle.
