Garmin Introduces New and Improved Dog GPS

June 26th, 2008 by BallerHouse

Whether you’re looking to track your dogs on a bird hunt or just want to make sure you know where they are on your property, Garmin’s new and improved Astro GPS Dog Tracking System is the perfect tool for keeping tabs on your pooches. The system includes a lightweight DC 30 collar and an Astro 220 receiver, which pinpoints exactly where your dog is and what he’s doing. Designed specifically for hunting, Garmin’s Astro GPS Dog Tracking System works in dense cover, has a seven-mile range, and can support ten dogs simultaneously. The device is capable of identifying hunting-specific objects, like ATV’s, bird flushes, and raccoons. And when the receiver’s not in use, it doubles as a hand held GPS that you can use in your car, boat, etc.

The Astro GPS Dog Tracking System will run you $650, with one DC 30 collar included. Each additional collar will go for $200. The system is expected to hit stores in the third quarter of 2008.
