DriveTrack 71 NA LMT-S, GPS Dog Tracker
Like any good navigator, Garmin's DriveTrack 71 will help you get where you want to go. But how many other in-vehicle GPS systems will also help you track your dogs? When synced with a Garmin GPS dog system — like the Alpha 100 — the DriveTrack will show you the location of each connected dog within the 9-mile tracking range. You can even see if they are sitting, running, treed, or on point. Then you can just use the directional cues to make your way to them.
Map Updates: DriveTrack 71 offers free lifetime map updates so you'll always have the most up-to-date maps, POIs, and navigation information. Map updates are available for download up to 4 times a year with no subscription or update fees and no expiration dates. Map updates can be obtained by connecting the device to a Wi-Fi network and directly download the maps, or connect the device to your computer and obtain the updates through Garmin Express.
Garmin Traffic: DriveTrack 71 can help you avoid traffic delays along your route. When connected to your smartphone and the Garmin Smartphone Link app, you can view traffic alerts, as well as alternate routes around the trouble. Smartphone Link can also give you up-to-date weather forecasts to make planning your trip easier. Smartphone Link is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch running iOS 11.4 or later, and Android devices running Android 4.4 and up.
Voice Command: You can use your voice to activate and operate the DriveTrack 71. Voice Command allows you to use the device by speaking words and commands and following the voice prompts. After speaking a predetermined Wakeup Phrase, you can enter the names and/or address of popular, well-known locations. If necessary, you can disable voice prompts without muting the device, so you'll still hear the audible directions as you travel.
Garmin Real Directions: The DriveTrack 71 features Garmin Real Directions with easy-to-understand driving directions using recognizable landmarks, buildings, and traffic lights, in addition to spoken street names. With Garmin's photoReal Junction view, you can see a realistic view of an upcoming turn, including Active Lane Guidance to put you in the proper lane to make your maneuver.
Speed Limits: As you travel along a major road or street, the speed limit is displayed on the screen alongside of the vehicle's speed display. If you are exceeding the speed limit, a tone will sound, and the color of the vehicle speed indication will change to red. If the highway's posted speed limit has changed since the last map update, you can change the speed limit display on the unit.
Wi-Fi Compatible: You can keep the device updated with the latest maps and software without connecting it to a computer. When connected to a Wi-Fi network, the device checks for available updates, and displays an icon on the screen. The connected network is added to the list of saved networks, and will reconnect automatically when it is within range.
Garmin Express: You can connect the unit to your computer with the supplied USB cable for downloading map updates, custom POIs, voices, and vehicles. You will need to download the Garmin Express software to update your maps and register the unit. Garmin Express requires Windows 7 SP1 or newer or Mac OS X 10.11 or higher.
Points-of-Interest: DriveTrack 71 includes millions of Points of Interest to help you locate a wide variety of locations and services. The device includes searchable POIs and data from Foursquare and TripAdvisor. After selecting the POI, you can get more information, view possible routes to the destination, and navigate to the location with turn-by-turn voice and on-screen directions.
Garmin Explore App: Using the Garmin Explore app, you can pull together your waypoints, tracks, and routes loaded on the DriveTrack 71 device, your smartphone, or your desktop/laptop computer. With the app, you can plan and navigate your trip, share your location, and track your progress. The app lets you download maps, and use them anytime or anywhere, even if there's no cell phone service. With a Garmin account, you can store waypoints, routes, and recorded tracks in the cloud. The Garmin Explore app is compatible with Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices running iOS 11.0 or later, as well as Android devices running Android 5.0 and up.
Bluetooth: The DriveTrack 71 has built-in Bluetooth technology. This allows you to sync the unit with a Bluetooth-enabled device for hands-free calling through its integrated microphone and speaker. You can make and receive phone calls as long as the devices are within 10 feet of each other and paired.
Windshield Mount: The unit comes with the Garmin Universal Mounting Bracket and Suction Cup Mount. The mount has a 2" diameter suction cup for mounting the device on your windshield.
Power Requirements: The Garmin DriveTrack 71 is powered by your vehicle's battery using the included 12-volt vehicle power adapter. The built-in Lithium-Ion battery will provide up to 1 hour of use after a full charge.
Optional Backup Cameras: The DriveTrack 71 is compatible with the Garmin BC40 Wireless Backup Camera (sold separately). The camera helps you to see what's behind your vehicle when backing up. The camera can pair via Wi-Fi to the DriveTrack 71 and transmit a clear view from the rear of your vehicle. (The transmitter should be installed within 25 feet of the DriveTrack 71.) The BC40 is hardwired to your vehicle's reverse light circuit, which powers the camera on when you shift the vehicle into reverse. Wiring it to a constant power circuit lets you view the camera's video at any time.
