Tracking geomutt

I am looking for a good GPS system that will let me track my geomutt and be able to geocache in one instead of having to carry two units. Really dont want to have to spend a lot of money for a new unit as they are out of our price range right now.

geomutt? Do you have a GPS beacon on your dog? No unit that i know of can do any GPS tracking. Just short of some higher end Garmin units that work with Garmin's Chirp units. But thats not really the same thing.

The only unit I know of that will do both is the Garmin Astro 320.

 

And unfortunately that is way out of my price range. Oh well it was an idea figured I could kill two birds with one stone.

I do not own one but I hear the Garmin Astro is very popular with Geocachers and hunters who go out with dogs. It is basically a GPSMAP 62s with an extra antenna that attaches to a wireless collar so you can track the dogs. It has all the same paperless Geocaching features as the 62S. The new 320 model will be out in a month or so.

It's out now!! I don't know weather to get the astro 220 or the astro 320. I just got an oregon 450 on sale. It would be about 200 dollars more to get the 320 package and by package I mean the gpsr, 2 collars, and extended antenna.

 

 

I went to the garmin site and compared them to try and decide. The 320 gives you the ability to save 200 tracks, paperless geocaching, internal memory, differant display.

 

I heard something about these new ones being ecollar compatible but now I can't find it. That would be worth it to me if I needed to use one someday.

 

I wonder if I should save the money and just get the 220.
