Garmin Astro Carrying Case
|
The first high-sensitivity GPS-enabled dog
tracking system for hunters and sportsmen. Pinpoint
your dog’s position and see exactly where he
is.
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.

Dog Info Screen -
shows you the current state of each dog, including
the battery life of the dogs unit. Also displays
if the dog is running or on point, how far the
dog is from you at the moment, and how far the
dog has traveled. |
Map View Screen - shows
each dog and any waypoints that you have programmed
in (truck, fieldhouse, coveys, ATV, etc), the
trail he has run, and if your dog is running
or on point. |
Tracker View Screen -
shows which direction your dog is in, how far
he is from you, and if he is running or on point.
Each dog will show on the compass with a different
color. |
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.
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.
