Dog Tracking GPS?


Garmin has done it again. Leading the industry in gps, they have come up with a handheld device that will track your hunting dogs in the field. It is called the Astro 220. Whether it's tall grass or dense cover there is no more worrying about where you are aiming, you get quick monitoring of your dogs position on the ground so you can follow them around. All you do is attach the DC 20 wireless transmitter to your dog with the wireless transmitter, go outside, and turn em loose. The GPS device also has a setting to alarm you when the dog is pointing.

Using several transmitters you can track up to ten dogs, and you can track them from as far as five miles away (depending on conditions). The system works best in flat open territory.

Using waypoints you can track where, when, and how many birds you found and took. The Astro 220 is not just a Tracking GPS, it is a full feature GPS that includes a : barometric altimeter, microSD card slot, celestial information, area calculator, IPX7 waterproof exterior and a revolutionary 3-axis compass. You can also get the optional detailed city street maps with over 6 million points of interest for the Astro 220.

GPS has come along way and now everyone is able to use it for almost every application. Take a look at the Astro Mini Site here for more info.

Trim Tabs improve your boat's performance

We are an authorized Nauticus, Inc trim tab dealer.

Nauticus, Inc. has the world’s only 100% active and fully automatic system using nitrogen gas actuators that act like springs that adjust to how the boat is run. Boaters can expect a very noticeable increase in overall performance with this system. Nauticus trim tabs boost performance with less bow lift, more fuel economy, quicker time to plane, faster acceleration, more stability and increased speed. Nauticus fits boats 8 to 300+hp from 8 to 30 feet long.

Nauticus trim tabs simply provide performance that you WILL NOT GET from any other trim tab brand! Why? Nauticus trim tabs are always reacting to the movements and speed variations of your boat. The manually adjusting smart trim tabs are stable until you physically adjust them. And let's face it, you need to work about safely operating your boat and not about making constant adjustments to your trim tabs. These Nauticus trim tabs are truly "SMART". The biggest mistake you can make with trim tabs is purchasing another brand.

Here's how they work:
The nitrogen gas actuators provide lift at the stern of the boat by holding the trim plate down during acceleration. The amount of lift is determined by the actuator load rating and the trim plate adjustment, which is done at the time of installation. Nauticus smart tabs start in a downward angle to maximize lift at slow speeds. As the boat accelerates, the water pushes up on the trim plates providing lift to the stern which minimizes bow rise, and allows the boat to plane quickly.

Once the water pressure exceeds the actuator load rating (maximum lift) the trim plates move up to a horizontal position eliminating any drag. Even when cruising Nauticus trim tabs continue to work like shock absorbers. The constant adjustment to sea conditions allow Nauticus trim tabs to provide remarkable stability in turns, while crossing waves, cruising, and running at maximum speeds. No more sliding, porpoising, or chine walking. The dampen reaction of the actuators senses changes in water pressure to provide smooth and undetectable reaction changes.

Nauticus vs. Other Brands:
While most other trim tabs offer increased performance, Nauticus offers key advantages over competitive brands. The first is the relative ease of installation. Smart tabs can be installed by the average boater in less than an hour using simple tools (screwdriver, wrench, and a drill). Each easily mounts to either side of the transom with attachment hardware included in the box. Other brands require complicated installation typically taking 4 hours that should be performed by experienced technicians.

The other key advantage of Nauticus trim tabs is that they are fully automatic. Once installed and adjusted, they do not require any operator control while underway. With other brands, the boater must constantly adjust the tab settings using manual switches according to how the boat is driven. Nauticus trim tabs eliminate the potential problems that manual trim tabs may have if improperly adjusted.

Independent Test Results:
Nauticus trim tabs have been tested by numerous publications and boat manufacturers. Each time the results were the same - a huge improvement in all performance aspects. From small inflatable boats to 9 meter cruisers and greatly improve performance every time.


eBuyersWorld.com refuses to sell any other brand because there is no comparison to Nauticus trim tabs.
