Nice Unit - Could be Better
By Deb Walker, K9-10
We use the Garmin Astro for K9 SAR. We put it on the dogs & record the areas they searched. The unit is nice, but frustrating to operate. It is advertised as being like the Garmin 60C series, but the operating system (menu screens) are very different and have much less functionality than the 60C's. I would have wanted to carry just one unit, but alas, I carry both because the screen functionalty on the Astro does not have features the 60CS has. The screen sequence for starting & stopping recording the dog tracks is very cumbersome and confusing. The harness that comes with the unit is worthless - dangerous really. It is a velcro 'vest' that is supposed to fit snugly around the dog's chest. It has to fit snuggly the way its designed in order for it to stay on the dog . . . but that snugness also causes the dog to not be able to breathe properly - for a working dog - that could cause major medical emergency. All of us who have them have designed some other attachment method to the dog's regular working harness. Garmin could save some money by removing the harness fromt the package & putting in a simple/better way to attach it to another harness. This all sounds bad . . . the unit works pretty well actually, but these pesky details cause it to be used less often that I would like.

Astro 220 Dog Tracking GPS
By Bowhunter's Paradise
Amazing unit...I used to use bells on my tracking Dog and I would subsequently lose my her quite often--I use this unit almost every day and I can say with certainty that I would be lost without it!! You will no longer have to search for your Dog; saves a ton of headaches!!Jim TitchenellBowhunter's Paradise Ranch
