ATB BB Yeah it was unlocked but had old software on which wouldn't be suitable to use with the T5 mini collars i wanted for the terriers and dachshunds.... couldn't get the maps on either I wouldn't worry about the maps to be honest mate as the compass is good enough and with the hand sets you shouldn't update them as there not programmed to be used in the uk what collars come with the hand set ? ATB BB DC40 i got with mine which is a bit big for the terriers, I am wanting a combined collar next so the Garmin will be for sale when it's unblocked. Quality bits of kits mind, but i want the training collar too, at the minute the dogs are like Mr T with a load of things round their necks. Quote Link to post

Boristheblade 1,367 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Oh hopefully you get it sorted then. I have just spoke to gps4us n they said there is a fault with the unlocking software for the Astro 430 n hopefully they will have it sorted within the next few days. I'm undecided wether to get the 320 or 430. Quote Link to post

There is a £140 price difference, so just tryin to weigh up the extra benefits. Quote Link to post
