Let the dog roam and leave the worrying about where he has gone to the tracking equipment.

The Astro, is the first high sensitivity GPS enabled dog tracking system ideal for hunters, sportsmen and domestic use. This great system finds your dogs location and shows you just where to find him, even if he is out of your audio range.

The Astro 220 system has a vibrant full color screen within the handheld GPS unit as well as a tough, DC 30 collar that is suitable for use in the wet. The collar itself has a GPS transmitter and is specially designed so that the antenna will always be pointing upwards to the sky for the best signal.

Getting started is easy, simply take the Astro 220 outside and turn the handheld unit on as well as the transmitter. This will engage the GPS satellite signal needed.

Next put the DC 30 collar onto your dog. That’s it! You can let him run as nothing further is needed.

Approx every five seconds, the DC 30 collar transmitter will send a signal depicting his whereabouts to your handheld unit. You will see the current location and past trail that he went on visually on the unit’s map page.

On the Dog Tracker page of the Dog GPS you can view a compass pointing to the dogs location. It will tell you the detail of if he is running, sitting, or on point etc.

This unit is a high sensitivity GPS receiver that will track where your dog is in even in the densest of cover.

Multiple transmitters can be used with the Astro 220 so you can keep tabs on up to ten dogs at one time. Within a distance of up to seven miles away, which is slightly variable depending on the terrain.

The farthest distances will be obtained in flat areas as the system transmits information by line of sight.
