- Where do I even start? First off you can use it with the available shock collar to make people talk. I mean this thing can really shock someone to the next county over! I have used this on several occasions and it always works. The best part is I can always use it to mark where I buried things. It makes tracking back to a scene much easier and allows me to follow back my footsteps to make sure I didn\'t make any mistakes. This is the best tool I have short of my first hammer. LOVE LOVE LOVE
- I use this in lieu of a fence to keep my GSD on our property in rural Alabama. ROLL TIDE BRUTHER! Instead of digging a trench or spending thousands on a fence, I just turn him out, and have geofence alerts setup so whenever he gets too close to the property line it buzzes me and I can tone him to let him know to head back towards the hizzy(house). Probably the coolest gadget I have right now.
- I hunt on a wildlife management area with still hunt and dog hunt areas and no problem stopping dogs be for they reach the boundaries !
- Very pleased with product.
- I upgraded recently to the 200i from the previous handheld. My old one lasted 8 plus years of daily use, but the startup had gotten very slow and it would just turn off on occasion.It\'s all good upgrades and obviously Garmin took user feedback into consideration.The biggest upgrade is the dog training feature. It\'s very easy to enter dogs and then use the new side buttons to scroll through the dogs so you can quickly get to and correct each dog. Thus, you can enter three easily accessibly levels for each dog (with options to change levels as well if needed). It\'s a really nice upgrade and the biggest one I see.The InReach stuff is great to know about but I haven\'t activated it yet, you have to pay a yearly subscription.Dog tracking is a bit faster and more accurate. I like the simplified screens for hunts so you can easily see dog information at a glance.The screen is bigger and easier to read in daylight.The touchscreen is nice, not too sensitive which is good if you carry it in a pocket or similar.All in all worth the $$ if you need an upgrade.Happy with the new version, and the improvements are all good ones as far as I\'ve seen so far.Thanks Garmin!
- I upgraded from an Alpha 100 to this 200i. Very very happy. Screen is more readable, not any brighter and the colors are more muted than the 100, but it’s still a bit easier to read and bigger. The touch screen works much better - more of an iPhone feel to it. Extra buttons are very nice to set up various functions while managing multiple dogs. Using WiFi to download Birdseye views is a winner. Just seems to work better than the 100 for that. Using Birdseye to help see where the dogs are is much more initiative than trying to interpret a topo map or something. Screen and function layout is better than the 100. The game changer for me is the iPhone integration. It displays map and dog tracking information directly to a paired iPhone using the Garmin Explorer app. Works great. I normally carry my iPhone when I hike with my dogs to take photos or talk on the phone or check email or whatever. Since is often already in my hand, having the dog data displayed there is awesome. And the map/tracking interface is easier to use on the larger iPhone screen. Serious hunters may not be carrying/using their iPhone, but for how I hike, this is awesome. Finally the form factor is more high tech. The soft rubbery surfaces of the 100 are replaced with hard plastic. It has a slicker look and feel. Nicer to have in hand. Hard to describe. For me the upgrade was totally worth it. Sold my 100 in a day on eBay, so it cut the upgrade cost to $400 - easy. For anyone choosing between the 100 and 200i, this seems the obvious choice. Hope this helps!
- 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.
- Bought this unit to be able to track, train, and use InReach. It does all those well. I do have to lock the touch screen to keep from changing things when I put it in the carrying case but locking the screen is a viable option to keep that from happening. When received, I had to go to Garmin\'s site and update the software, but that is not unusual for Garmin products. Sometimes they come with out of date software or versions that were put in at the factory that may be off from the ones on Garmin\'s website. Just be aware that you always need to check the software version upon arrival. Aside from that, this is a great multipurpose unit.
