| 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
the rugged, all-weather DC-30 collar.
The collar has an integrated GPS transmitter and is specially weighted
so the antenna will always point to the sky for optimum signal. To get
started, just take Astro outdoors and turn on the handheld and
transmitter to acquire GPS satellite signals. Then attach the DC-30 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-30 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.
Astro: Leave the hunting to your dogs!
