Garmin Alpha 200i Handheld
The Garmin Alpha 200i Handheld is an advanced dog tracking and training system designed for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and dog trainers who require reliable communication and real-time tracking. With the integration of inReach® technology, this handheld offers the ability to send two-way messages and activate SOS alerts, providing peace of mind when you're in the field. This device can track and train up to 20 dogs, monitor their locations with precise 2.5-second updates, and offers premium Garmin navigation features, making it a perfect solution for those who need comprehensive functionality during their outings.
Key Features:
Track and Train Up to 20 Dogs: The Alpha 200i allows you to monitor up to 20 dogs at once, making it a perfect solution for tracking multiple dogs in the field. Using compatible collars (sold separately), you can efficiently manage each dog's location and training needs.
9-Mile Range: Depending on your dog device, the Alpha 200i provides an impressive range of up to 9 miles. This ensures you can keep track of your dogs over large areas, whether you are hunting, training, or just exploring the outdoors.
2.5-Second Update Rate: Stay updated on your dogs’ exact locations every 2.5 seconds. The Alpha 200i uses multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS and Galileo) for fast and accurate tracking, ensuring real-time location data even in challenging terrains.
Sunlight-Readable 3.5” Display: The 3.5” capacitive touchscreen display is designed to be easy to read, even in bright sunlight. This sunlight-readable screen provides clear visibility of your dogs’ locations, topographic maps, and other key data, making it easier to monitor your dogs' movements in the field.
Button-Operated, Dog-Focused Design: The Alpha 200i features a button-operated interface with a dog-focused design for quick and easy adjustments. The intuitive layout allows you to make minor changes to your settings or issue corrections without taking your eyes off the action.
Interactive SOS Alerts and Two-Way Messaging: A standout feature of the Alpha 200i is the inReach® technology, which provides global two-way messaging and interactive SOS alerts. With an active satellite subscription (and subject to jurisdiction restrictions), you can send messages, check in with loved ones, or send an SOS in emergencies to stay connected and safe no matter how remote your location is.
Preloaded TopoActive Maps & BirdsEye Satellite Imagery: The Alpha 200i is preloaded with TopoActive maps, providing detailed information on the terrain you're navigating. Additionally, you can download BirdsEye Satellite Imagery directly to your device, offering high-resolution satellite views of your surroundings, helping you plan and track more effectively.
Built-In Compass and Barometric Altimeter: The Alpha 200i comes with a three-axis compass and barometric altimeter. These tools enhance your ability to navigate by providing accurate directional data and elevation information, making it easier to maintain your bearings and stay on course.
User-Replaceable Battery: The device features a long-lasting, user-replaceable battery that offers up to 20 hours of battery life. However, with inReach® technology enabled, the battery life is reduced to up to 15 hours. This gives you extended use in the field without frequent recharging.
18 Levels of Correction: The Alpha 200i offers 18 different levels of correction, including vibration and adjustable tones. This feature allows you to fine-tune the training of your dogs, providing a versatile approach to reinforcing desired behaviors.
Backward Compatibility: The Alpha 200i is backward compatible, allowing you to continue using your existing Alpha® collars and devices. You can transfer location data between compatible Garmin devices, making it easy to integrate this system into your existing setup.
Hunt Metrics Data: The Alpha 200i provides valuable Hunt Metrics data, allowing you to monitor each dog’s daily hunting patterns and behaviors. This feature helps you track your dogs’ health and performance during hunts, ensuring they remain fit and safe in the field.
Garmin Explore™ Compatibility: The Alpha 200i is compatible with the Garmin Explore™ app and website, which allows you to manage tracks, routes, and waypoints, and review detailed statistics from the field. This integration helps you stay organized and plan future trips with precision.
