I was told today that the 550 Plus has the same Range as any of the other Garmin Units, which is 9 mile ( we know they won't reach close to that ) and with their New Update it is a Very Sweet Tracker....!!!

I checked the Garmin Website and they do advertise that Range.

Garmin Pro 550 Plus

I found out that in August of 2024 Garmin did a Very Impressive Update to the 550 Plus and a couple changes they made :

* Range is now the same as other Garmins...9 miles.

* You can now Mark your Trucks Location

* The 550 Pro Plus will now Pair with your Smartphone and you can have the Garmin Explore AAP on it with Maps of your Dogs Location........Free.

I get turned around, especially on unfamiliar ground. I'd miss that for sure.




You can now Mark the Trucks Location since Garmin did a Nice Update in August 2024.

Garmin Pro 550 +

I absolutely LOVE this System......!!!

No more Junk that I don't need, You can Mark the Truck, you can have a Map on your Phone if needed ( I haven't ), Range is right there with any other Garmin on the Market.


LOVE IT.......LOVE IT.......LOVE IT....!!!


A Big Shout out to Bryce Mathews and Froggy Bottom Outdoors for getting the System Set up for me once I Ordered it through them....Much Appreciated...👍🏻👍🏻
