Garmin Astro 220 GPS for Hunting Dogs

Description

Garmin Astro 220 GPS for Hunting Dogs. Condition is "Used".
This tracking collar was used just a handful of times per year for my hunting buddy. It has some obvious wear but is in great working condition. The handheld unit requires 2 AA Batteries not included. I enjoyed using this collar for peace of mind when tracking where my dog was at all times. The screen has a directional arrow which tells you when your dog is coming back or (running in the opposite direction). The manual can be downloaded online from Garmins website. The collar would fit best on a dog under 50 pounds based on the diameter of 18 Inches long.
The Astro 220 handheld unit has a slight bend in the antennae from being in a hunting vest, but it continues to work great. The Garmin Collar has a rubber label that is torn on the top it still remains attached.

For what do you use a Garmin Astro 220 GPS?
A Garmin Astro 220 GPS (global positioning system) is not a navigation system like you may think of when thinking of the brand Garmin. Instead, it is for tracking. The waterproof system keeps track of your dog while you are out hunting since he or she can be hard to spot in fields or trees. It works with your dogs collar to transmit his or her exact location and can even alert you once they find their hunt. However, it can still keep track of your surroundings and can even help direct you back to your truck at the end of the day.

Does a Garmin Astro 220 GPS help you find dogs?
A Garmin Astro 220 GPS uses a four-digit PIN number so that you (and only you) can see where your dog is. However, you can link it to up to 10 dogs if you have more than one with you on the hunt. Plus, it picks up signals every 5 seconds, even in a dense location and up to 7 miles away, so that you can rest assured you can always find your dog easily.
