Dog Tracker Screen

This screen shows your dog using an arrow on an easy to read compass
screen. It shows which direction your dog is in, how far he is from you,
and if he is running or on point. If you are running multiple dogs all
wearing Astro units, each dog will show on the compass with a different
color for each dog allowing you to tell them apart from each other.

Map Screen

The Map Screen shows each dog and...

• Any waypoints that you have programmed


• The areas where each dog has run so you can tell what ground has
been covered.
• If your dog is running or on point.

Dog Info Screen

Shows you the current state of each dog. The biggest advantage of this
screen is that it allows you to monitor the battery life of the dog's unit. As
the reading gets low you can pick up your dog and take your unit in to
recharge it.

• Shows dog's current state - moving or on point


• Average speed, distance traveled
• Battery life of the dog's transmitter
• Update rate of the dog's location
• Reception of the GPS signal / handheld transmitter.
Garmin Astro 220 GPS Dog Tracking System Specifications

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 og’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 alt lectronic
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.
