Garmin Alpha 100 GPS Training & Tracking Collar (2-Dog Combo)

The Alpha 100 improves user interface with a simpler menu structure and sophisticated graphics thanks to its vibrant, sunlight-readable 2.6" touchscreen color display. Both durable and waterproof, Alpha 100 is built to withstand the elements. It features the legendary toughness built for the rigors of the outdoors – be it dust, dirt, humidity or water, none of which are a match for this essential hunting companion.

The 100 features a built-in worldwide basemap with shaded relief, plus included and free US 100k Topographical maps. Additionally, there is support for enhanced mapping such as BirdsEye™ satellite imagery, regional Topo maps, and Garmin custom maps. Hunters know, for example, if their dog has crossed a creek or is nearing a dangerous road. Garmin's free BaseCamp software allows hunters and trainers to download, view and save their dog's tracks to a computer for viewing later – a great tool for evaluating performance.

A refined user interface streamlines what is displayed on screen by allowing dogs that are outside the current zoom level to have their location notated in the display's margin. The user can also choose the amount of each dog's tracklog displayed, or toggle it off completely to avoid cluttering the map.

This rugged handheld also has a built-in vibration motor to support silent alerts in addition to audible tones, a 3-axis digital compass (allowing the hunter to hold the handheld at any angle), new and improved reception range, a fully rubberized outer coating with an over molding for a better grip, a new keyboard design, and onboard memory for storing additional mapping (4 Gigs). The orange trim color is great for hunters and especially helpful for visibility if the handheld is dropped or misplaced.

Now offering two new included antenna options, the extended range antenna can increase the tracking range by up to 30%. Thanks to the TT10's redesigned antenna, the maximum range between the Alpha 100 and TT10 can achieve up to nine miles in flat, unobstructed terrain. Dog handlers can wirelessly transfer waypoints, tracks, and even their dog's tracking settings to other Alpha 100 users.
