Originally intended as a navigational aid for the US military, GPS technology is now used for everything from tracking ships on the ocean to helping backpackers find their favorite campsites. It can also be found factory-built into cars, watches, two-way radios, PDAs and more. With all these options, how do you know which unit is right for your needs? Let's take a look.

GPS technology works day or night, rain or shine. Theoretically, a high-end GPS unit can help you find your way through an old-growth forest in the dead of night. To do so, however, requires an excellent antenna that can capture reception under heavy tree cover. Night travel also requires a backlit screen, and backlighting quickly drains battery power.

HOW IT WORKS:
The Garmin Astro system consists of two components: a Handheld GPS unit (Astro 220) which looks like a walkie-talkie and a dog tracking collar(Astro-DC-20) with an antenna which is mounted on a harness or collar and transmits via radio signal.

The Dog GPS computes its location from the GPS satellites and detects whether your dog is moving or on point. The Dog GPS sends that info to your Handheld GPS every 5 seconds. The Handheld GPS plots the exact location of your dog on a map, 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. Now you can have everything you need in the palm of your hands with this dog tracking system.
