The one thing I always have with me in my Dog, Bowser, so for me Garmin offers the Astro 220, which is almost identical to the 60CSX with the additional benefit that it tracks Bowser at all times via the small receiver/transmitter he wears on his back in a small harness or on his collar. I could track him for up to 12 miles if he and I were to get seperated. He goes everywhere including swimming with it on his back and I go everywhere secure in the knowledge that I will never lose him. Lou Mazero Hi,
