I have recently got one also and I have the arkansas topo loaded. It is all you will need to track and recover your dogs. What is there not to like about this unit? it is awesome and will probably spoil you. The only thing I would suggest would be to get the extra antenna. I have the mag base for my truck. It will DOUBLE your tracking distance. I was tracking 4.5 miles last night in the sleet and snow. I never got over 2 miles with the shorty antenna. Good luck and happy hunting!

GPSr Units / Newbie Question about external power
January 04, 2010, 07:13:57 PM
Hello everyone, I enjoy reading about maps and gps units and have learned a great deal here.

I just bought a Garmin astro 220 and love it for tracking my dogs. I can power it by the usb cable that came with the Garmin from my computer so i was wondering has anyone tried a blackberry car charger as it has the same end as the usb cable that came with my Garmin. I tried charging my blackberry with that cable and it works. I was a little afraid of screwing up so i thought i would ask here and maybe get an answer from someone who has tried it. Thanks in advance.
