The Garmin Astro system consists of two components: a Handheld GPS unit (Astro 220) which looks like a walkie-talkie and a Dog GPS unit (Astro-DC-30).
The Dog GPS computes its location from the GPS satellites, detects whether your dog is moving or on point, and sends that info to your Handheld GPS every 5 seconds
The Handheld GPS then plots the exact location of your dog on a map screen, shows distance, and whether your dog is moving or on point.
On your Handheld GPS, the Map Screen shows your location, your dog's location, and the path that your dog has hunted.
View your dog on the Compass Screen which shows your location, your dog's distance and direction. The Compass Screen is perfect for running multiple dogs. Add up to 10 dogs to one Handheld GPS system. All you need are extra DC 30 DOG GPS collars.
