You'd get that if you REALLY believe in Santa.

HOW ABOUT THE DC 30 collor with dc 40 charging system.

WE ASK THEM FOR ONE LITTLE THING AND THEY GO OVER BOARD AND SCREW IT UP........

IF THEY DID WANT TO IMPROVED IT, MAYBE MORE COLLAR NUMBERS. TRY USING THESE TING BEARING WITH A BUNCH OF PEOPLE.

I sure thought there would be more ideal's for improvements on the system with all the complaints that you read on here all the time.

Posted by Bluedogman on 12-15-2010 05:33 PM:

Yes, I would wish for one that was so user friendly that ANYONE could just speak to it and get it to do exactly what they wanted it to no matter how tongue tied they might be.

i just wish the junk would work all the time. i know of several including myself that have gotten lemons with garmin. plus i wish ukc would ban them from the hunts. and wish pleasure hunters would leave them in the truck. looks like a bunch of kids playing video games instead of hunting these days.

Neither of you two are coming up with IMPROVEMENTS to the unit.

I would want the 220 capable of being placed in a battery save mode, (blank screen and no sound) but still track.

Thanks Santa!

I would like to see the internal connection for the antenna strengthend.

That seems to be the biggest non user error issue they have.

I'd like to see a Video Out capability, that would allow a laptop computer to be used as the display. The Astro screen is too dinky for my eyes that aren't getting any younger.

I'd like to see a tree switch on the collars that works better. Seems like the tree icon comes on whenever the dog is slowed down and not much else.

I second the antenna connection comment a better connection is needed. i would like to see somthing diffrent with the power switch,maybe a remote way to turn it on or off from the handheld or a magnet type switch like the marshall collars.I know a guy thats had two stolen off the dogs ecause they could just turn it off and drive away with it or either they turned it off and tossed it but either way they were never found but the dogs did show up.

Never ask a man what kind of dog he has. If he has a hound he'll tell you, if he does not, you don't want to shame him by asking.

Posted by HOBO on 12-15-2010 08:38 PM:

The power switch is one of the features that I like. Most people have no ideal how to turn them off,UNLESS they have one or have hunted with someone who has.

Posted by cedarhillkennel on 12-15-2010 09:03 PM:

if a peta nut job can figure out how to turn one off so could any other idiot ,lol.

Posted by HOBO on 12-15-2010 09:49 PM:

It's just as simple as figuring out it takes a magnet to turn the others off.

Posted by cody walker on 12-15-2010 10:22 PM:

Create a collar with un limited range.

Great question.

I'd like compatibility with an Ipad mounted on vehicle's dash panel. either a hard connection or better yet a wifi connection. That way I could merge the dog position indicator with maps preloaded on the IPad or live downloads of Google Earth through a cell network... Maybe also dual transmitting capability for the collars such that they transmit over a cell network when in reach of towers... the cell connection would also allow me to shout commands at my dog through a speaker on the collar...A simple improvement is I would like the dog symbol appearing at the dog's location on the moving map to show direction the dog is traveling at a glance. I've always thought the dog symbol should show the dog's nose pointing in the direction of travel across the screen. This way I could just quick glance at the screen to know his direction of travel. You'd also have the option of turning off/on the track lines which are usually just clutter on the screen in my opinion. I really only want to know where he is and direction of travel...how about floating text by the dog location symbol on the screen that shows his speed of travel -over 10 mph and you know to burn him on junk.

Be able to tell if the dog it is on is worth a crap. And if not just explode and get them out of the gene pool.

Posted by Wingpatch on 12-15-2010 11:18 PM:

I GOT IT

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GARMIN COME UP WITH A SELF DISTRUCT MODE.... WHERE IT BLOWS UP IN THE HANDS OF THESE GUYS THAT KEEP KNOCKEN UM JUST TO BE KNOCKEN SOMETHING... REALLY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A TOUGHER COLLAR ANTENNA ...

BUT I WILL KEEP WHAT GARMIN HAS MADE.. BEST THING GOING
