Astro 220
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
GPS for hunters and sportsmen. This unique GPS when accompanied by the
optional DC 20 pinpoints your dogs position and shows you exactly where
he is, even when you cant see or hear him.
Count Your Coveys
After
youve captured your quarry, mark the exact spot with Astros 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 youre 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 Garmins 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.
Dog Tracking GPS?
Garmin has done it again. Leading the industry in gps, they have come
up with a handheld device that will track your hunting dogs in the
field. It is called the Astro.
Whether it's tall grass or dense cover there is no more worrying about
where you are aiming, you get quick monitoring of your dogs position on
the ground so you can follow them around. All you do is attach the DC
20 wireless transmitter to your dog with the wireless transmitter, go
outside, and turn em loose. The GPS device also has a setting to alarm
you when the dog is pointing.
Using several transmitters you can
track up to ten dogs, and you can track them from as far as five miles
away (depending on conditions). The system works best in flat open
territory.
Using waypoints you can track where, when, and how many birds you found and took. The Astro
is not just a Tracking GPS, it is a full feature GPS that includes a :
barometric altimeter, microSD card slot, celestial information, area
calculator, IPX7 waterproof exterior and a revolutionary 3-axis
compass. You can also get the optional detailed city street maps with
over 6 million points of interest for the Astro.
GPS has come along way and now everyone is able to use it for almost every application. Take a look at the Astro Mini Site here for more info.
