Garmin Alpha 200i Dog Tracking Handheld, Utilizes inReach Technology, Sunlight-readable 3.6 Touchscreen (010-02230-50), Black

This has worked great training our black mouth cur puppy. location is very accurate. Recall training works exelent. Program able buttons make it easy to use. Blue tooth to the phone works well but seems unnecessary? Range is awesome. I would not get the 200i again now that the 200 out as I will never use the SOS feature because of the subscription cost.

This Alpha 200i will interfere with a VHF radio. I use a VHF handheld radio with the Alpha and I get a constant clicking sound transmitted from the Alpha to the VHF. Garmin has no solution.

Perfectos para mostrar ubicación de los perros y te ayuda a ubicar cómo va la caza !

The manual is not very informative You have to go online to get enough information to operate. This is a very annoying practice by this company Why would you want a third party to explain your product

This is good for hunting in the field. But it is a little cumbersome. I have the Sport Pro as well for training. They are both great, but you need to know what you want to use them for. I only use the sport pro while training. Then switch to the Alpha when hunting.

If you are part of a K9 SAR team do not buy this product. I upgraded from an Alpha 100 and had to go back to it. The unit will not display a heading or bearing in decimal degrees. Thats correct, you can not ever get a compass bearing from this unit. It only provides letters for your heading (N,S,E, etc.) Amazed that the top of the line unit cant even provide this basic information.

The dog compass is useless. It’s not accurate at all. Calibrating the unit makes no difference. The rest is pretty cool but the device is slower than you’d like trying to access features on the screen. It’s like getting around on a 15 year old phone

No problems

I purchased this as a dog finder. We go out moving cattle and the cows go into some pretty dense forest, bush, marsh, whatever they can to hide and as big as they are they hide pretty well. This Alpha 200i with TT15 collar does not work accurately if the dog collar is within 30 feet of you! ... $1000 dollar device and it doesnt track when you are near the collar? Really?!

Garmin definitely introduced a huge setback with these new 200 series. The do not accept any hunting maps like ONX or basemap. They make you buy their own branded crap called huntview plus. It’s terrible in comparison.
