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

Works very well to keep track of our dog when he decides to chase animals in heavy woods, or wonders to the neighbors. geofence works great, accuracy is with 16’ radius most of the time. satellite images make it easy to see where dog is rather than just a dot on a map. Easy touch screen controls and user friendly. WiFi works great for downloading maps and satellite images. Bluetooth worked on iPhone for garmin app.

Had the Alpha 100 for a few months and was only running 1 dog on it. When I upgraded to running 2 dogs on the Alpha 100 it was a chore/hassle to be able to train them effectively. I upgraded to running all 4 dogs on the TT15 collars and decided I had to upgrade to the Alpha 200i.

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.

My dislike is l needed this for a trip. To find out the battery will not charge. The package was not secured, everything thrown in a bag like it was returned. For me to go on a trip l had to go buy a more expensive one. Learned my lesson not to buy electronics from Amazon.

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 device works great. The tracking/training box on the collar is quite large. I would Consider the mini version for dogs under 60lbs

The Alpha series is incompatible with OnX GPS chips. Who at Garmin thought this would be a good idea?!? Needs to be changed ASAP.

Very pleased with product.

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

Didn’t work in Australia! I sent it back still waiting for my refund
