Product Description:
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. 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. 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. 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.Waypoints/icons -1000 with name and graphic symbol

The Garmin Astro GPS Dog Tracking System lets hunters and sportsmen spend their time looking for game, rather than looking for their dog. This unique dog-tracking system pinpoints your dog's position and shows you exactly where he is, even when you can't see or hear him.
This system includes a bright, color-screen handheld Astro 220 GPS device and a wireless transmitter, called the DC 20. Simple and easy to use, you just take the Astro outdoors and turn on both units to acquire a GPS satellite signal, then attach the DC 20 to your dog, either via the included neoprene harness or by threading it onto an existing 1-inch e-collar, and you're ready to go.
The DC 20 transmits your dog's position to your handheld every five seconds, showing current location as well as where he's been on the Map page. The Dog Tracker page shows you a compass that points to your dog's location, and lets you see your dog's current status, such as running, sitting, on point or treeing quarry. The Garmin Astro can even sound an alarm to let you know instantly when your dog goes on point.
The Astro 220's high-sensitivity GPS receiver can track your dog's position even in the densest cover, and lets you track up to 10 dogs at one time, up to five miles away in open territory. The Astro features a Covey Counter, which lets you place 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 flushed and taken from that location. The Astro also lets you save other important waypoints, such as Truck and Lodge, and choose special icons to represent food plots, tree stands and other hunting-related items.
The full-featured Astro handheld has all the same functions as Garmin's top-line handheld outdoor devices, including a barometric altimeter, a microSD card slot for maps, celestial information and an area calculator, as well as optional detailed city street maps, over 6 million points of interest, and exact turn-by-turn directions. This unit has an extremely rugged construction, with an IPX7 waterproof exterior that can withstand full immersion in water up to 1-meter deep for up to 30 minutes, and a revolutionary 3-axis compass that works no matter how the handheld is oriented.

- Great System!
Before purchasing, I was concerned about the two-star reviews: broken transmitters and antennas, etc.
My dog is a lunatic, 30mph Wirehair Pointer who tears through the brush, fences, low hanging trees of the mountains of Central California at high speed.He is comfortable with the harness, and we have had zero problems.
The harness design is kind of clunky....but it works fine and I look forward to upgrades.
Meanwhile the GPS part of the system is very thorough ... Read More
Rating: - An Effective Tool for the Bird Hunter
I am a bird hunter and this a very effective tool to find fast a dog pointing birds. It is also very usefull in finding your location and the location of the dog in difficult conditions (fog, thick forest, etc)
Rating: - DO NOT BE MISLED!
The rebate advertised for this product is NOT for this product, but rather for the update to the dog collar transmitter.
The rebate requires you to own both the DC20 dog collar AND the DC30 dog collar. You can purchase both if you wish, but if you buy only the handheld unit and the DC20, which is what this product listing is, you will NOT get the rebate.
Beware. Your price after rebate is NOT $349.99. It is still $399.99

Rating: - Excellent product and delivery with missing option
Everything was delivered to my full satisfaction except for one thing.The charger was delivered with adapter for US. This is understandable as it was delivered in the States, but there should be an option to change this as there are many of us having stuff delivered in US, and then brought home to Europe.
