Follow Your Dog's Every Move

Using the Garmin T 5 or T 5 mini collar devices (sold separately) to transmit each dogs location as often as every 2.5 seconds, Astro 430 is quick to pinpoint the track theyre following even when theyre on the run. On the Astros bright, crisp display, you can see your dogs current location and a trail of where hes been. You also can switch over to the Dog Track page to view a compass pointing to your dogs location. For help in keeping the big picture in sight when tracking multiple dogs, its easy to auto zoom the map page, so all dogs can be seen on the display at any time. Dogs that are too far away to fit on the maps current zoom scale can be notated on the displays margin in the direction of the dogs location. To reduce visual clutter on the map, you can toggle between show all, show some and show none selecting the duration that each dogs track is viewable on the display. You can also share a dogs track code so another person can view your dogs location on their units map, along with the dog tracking compass. Further, by sharing a dogs control code, you can allow another person to configure and control your dogs on-collar device.

Track with Hunt Metrics Data

Sophisticated Hunt Metrics help monitor your dogs hunting patterns and behaviors to optimize your training opportunities. You can see your dog's times, distances traveled and overall scores. Plus, the Astro 430 will also capture the number of times during the hunt when an on point or treed event was indicated.

Count Your Coveys

After youve tracked down your quarry, mark the exact spot with Astros Covey Counter, a special waypoint that shows the exact location, time of day and elevation where you found your prey as well as the number of birds you flushed and took from that location. Astro lets you save other special waypoints, such as Truck and Lodge, so you can easily find your way back to these locations at the end of the hunt. Astro also offers special waypoint icons to represent food plots, tree stands and other hunting-related points.

Share Wirelessly

With an expanded ecosystem of wireless connectivity options, Astro 430 can support unit-to-unit data transfer with a variety of compatible Garmin devices. For example, the outdoor Garmin DriveTrack 70 GPS navigator can receive and display dog positions on its moving map with TOPO or satellite image views showing navigation cues to your dogs current location. Likewise, fenix 3 GPS watches can receive dog status updates and alerts for viewing at a glance on your wrist. Also, while youre in the field, Astro 430 lets you link and share wirelessly with your buddies compatible devices, such as the Oregon handheld, Montana handheld, GPSMAP 64 chartplotter or other ANT+ enabled devices, to help coordinate hunt logistics on the go.

Turn Your Computer Into a BaseStation for Tracking Dogs

Load your laptop with BaseStation software to turn it into a field control center for tracking multiple dogs (equipped with T 5 or T 5 mini dog devices). View real-time GPS information on the larger display of your computer, making it ideal for canine search and rescue teams. And because its GPS/GLONASS capable, you'll get tracking, even where Internet and cell phone service isnt available.

Tough, Water-resistant, Long-lasting

Like all Garmin outdoor products, Astro 430 is designed to be effective, easy to use, reliable and rugged enough to withstand all the blows, bumps and sloppy conditions of training and hunting. The handheld unit is water-resistant to IPX7, and it can be powered with standard AA batteries or its optionally available with a long-lasting NiMH battery pack thats rechargeable in the unit. Whats more, if you ever drop or misplace your Astro 430 in the field, the high-visibility orange case makes it easy to track down.
