Calibrating Your TR-dog Dog Gps Tracking System Compass Is A Simple Process

Companies often receive information from hunters on how to calibrate their compass, suggesting that their the Tr-dog Dog gps tracking system handheld not working properly on  when they were out hunting the night before.

They are talking about the "direction" the needle is pointing at their dog - it visibly deviates and/or wobbles back and forth, never giving the actual direction, but simply waving back and forth to let them know their dog is somewhere on their side before.

This has happened to me in the past, and it often happens when I absolutely need my handheld to perform at its best. For example, one night I was hunting an hour south of home and trying to collect a large lackey. I parked my truck and stood near a set of railroad tracks, my compass page was showing the dog somewhere ahead of me. I have tried calibrating the compass several times without success.

My hunting partner happened to be around 300 yards away and headed toward me. I never called to her, but as I stood there in the early morning hours enjoying the stars and oncoming frost, reflecting on all the coons we’d treed and what a great night it had been, I began to hear a train barreling down the tracks in the distance. When my dog was 50 yards away I couldn’t see her or tell what side of the tracks she was on. I held my breath and the train zipped on by.

I sighed in relief as she walked over the tracks, tail held high in the air, indifferent to the world, glad to see me, and wondering what the hell was going on with that sour look on my face. To be fair, I've calibrated my compass regularly since that night and got into the habit of doing it every night when I'm not far from home. Most people don't calibrate their compass on a handheld device until they find out that it's not working, and if you're looking for the same three or four spots around the house and aren't very far from home, you'll probably never need to calibrate it .

Most of the time, though, I hear this question a lot because hunters are a few hours or states away from home and their handhelds suddenly appear a little "unusual" while hunting. Sometimes they even notice it when they are only an hour away from home.

In my experience, I think it's easiest to calibrate the compass before opening any collars and before starting a hunt. I personally have trouble getting the handheld to calibrate the compass when I have one, two or three collars open and halfway through a midnight hunt.

That's why I recommend getting into the habit of calibrating your compass when you arrive at your hotel room or playground, a few hours before you have to think about taking time out for the night, when you have plenty of time and little stress.

The calibration process is very simple, but usually takes two or three attempts, and the screen will ask you to start drawing the horizontal figure 8.

* But after the handset vibrates, it means that the calibration is complete, and finally press Finish.

Friends, make sure you are well prepared before going, for example, check the dog gps tracking system, guns, communication equipment, etc. Good luck.
