Features of the Garmin Astro 430 Handheld

Track More Dogs:

The Astro 430 handheld comes with the ability to connect with up to 20 GPS dog tracking collars, with a range of up to 9 miles.

Compatibility:

Track your dogs with a variety of GPS collars. The Astro 430 is compatible with T 5, T 5 Mini, TT 15, TT 15 Mini, DC 50, and TT 10 tracking devices. Remember that the Astro 430 can only provide tracking functions.

With the Astro 430, you can track the same collars as Alpha users. This is great for people who don’t want or need the training features of the Alpha track-and-train but still hunt and share dogs.

The Astro 430 is also compatible with Garmin’s DriveTrack 70 vehicle tracking screen, the fēnix 3 GPS tracking watch, the Garmin VIRB Action camera and ANT+ sensors such as the Tempe dog box temperature gauge.

Improved Tracking:

Thanks to advancements in satellite connectivity, it is now less likely for your collar to lose satellite reception while traveling through heavy cover or deep canyons. This is thanks to the highly sensitive top-mounted receiver that tracks with GLONASS and GPS satellites, nearly doubling the number of satellite connections.

Permissions Codes:

While using an Astro 430, you’ll be able to share dogs with other Astro 430 or Alpha 100 users but still remain in control of your own dogs. You’ll be able to choose who can make changes to your collar system by sharing a permissions code that must be entered before changing update rates and the ID.

Faster Update Rate:

The Astro 430 is capable of connecting to your collars as frequently as 2.5 seconds, allowing you to keep a closer eye on your dogs.

Hunt Metrics:

Hunt Metrics makes viewing your dog’s performance easy. You can view the distance your dog has traveled, how long they have been out in the field, and much more. This helps you monitor your dog’s progress in training and be a helpful tool in fine-tuning your program to get the most from your tracking dogs.

Customizable New Hunt:

You can now customize what dogs you want to keep track information for and which dog tracks you want to clear when you start a new hunt.

Pre-installed Topo Map:

The Garmin Astro 430 comes preloaded with 100,000 topo maps that span the entire U.S. These maps give you topographic detail, roads, creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, etc.
