With it paying off the first night I used it, finding a pig the dogs were holding 400 yards into the forest which normally would take a long time. Normally we rely on trying to find the dogs by sound, but is dificult when they are holding the pig and the pig isn't squealing which was the case " Track Dogs in Dense Cover As often as every five seconds, your dogs DC 30 transmits his position to your handheld, and you can see his current location and a trail of where hes been on the Map page of your handheld. Switch over to the Dog Tracker page to view a compass pointing to your dogs location as well as his current status: whether hes 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 dogs 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 CoveysAfter 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 GPSAstro 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, microSD card slot, celestial information, area calculator, rugged, IPX7 waterproof exterior and a revolutionary 3-axis compass, which works no matter how the handheld is oriented. 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.      ABOUT US  Why buy from us ?   . .  .  We'll let our customers tell you !
