This GPS unit contains a very sensitive transmitter and can be used on a number of different collars. This gives you a lot of flexibility and you will not have the need to place two collars on your dog. In fact, you can choose collars that your dog prefers. There is no need to worry about recharging promptly as in some cases you can get as long as forty eight hours without recharging, depending on the frequency of your GPS updates.
If you need something with a lot of range, this unit is a good choice. You can track dogs as far away as seven miles (11.2 km). Yet, your actual range depends on the kind of conditions that the dog is in. For instance, nothing will track far in mountainous or hilly terrain. You have five options when it comes to when you wish to receive positional updates, and they range from as quick as five seconds to as long as every couple of minutes.
These GPS collars are made to withstand wear and tear. They are also designed to resist all kinds of weather including moisture, as they are made from tough and durable polyurethane. This makes them excellent for hunting dogs that may be going through all kinds of brush and terrain. Also these collars can be seen from a long ways as they are bright orange in color.
Hunters not interested in a lot of hassles that can come with tracking, will find the Garmin DC 40 collar very convenient. There are not a lot of instructions to read and steps to take, as you basically place it on the dog's neck, and take off. This will give you vital information on the dog's whereabouts, when you need it. You can know when the dog is standing still or moving about, and how fast he or she is moving.
These types of GPS collars are compatible with the Garmin Astro 320 and 220 systems. You enjoy the kind of security you need as each unit cannot be operated without inserting your four digit pin code. This helps you maintain total privacy, and nobody else can track your dog, and know what you are doing. The GPS collars can fit a wide range of neck sizes as they are adjustable from 12 inches (32.5 centimeters) up to 20 inches (59 centimeters).
Your new Garmin DC 40 collar is shipped with its wireless transmitting unit. In the box, you will receive a power cable designed for automotive use. In addition, there is also an AC power adapter with a handy quick start manual to get going.
With so many dogs lost each year, it makes sense to invest in a tracking system. This is good for dogs that sometimes escape or for hunting dogs that travel great distances. The Garmin DC 40 collar has a lot of benefits and is worth looking into.
