i haven't even used my pathfinder 1 a year and last week the hand piece that talks from my phone to the collar completely went out. Shipped it back to them and they should be fixing at this moment but still scary when it's not even a year old and already went out, hopefully mine was just a lemon cuz i love being able to see the detail where my hounds at on google maps instead of a garmin GPS. Luckily i had my dog and was inbetween spots when it stopped working cuz she's silent track.
I knew something was up. I have been waiting for news on this since I found the pathfinder 2 app a couple months ago. I do like the interface of the app as well as the maps. Unfortunately I gotta stick with my current pathfinder
ua-cam.com/video/aN9WxK87Omw/v-deo.html all I’ve used for the last 12 years or so is big dog lights. They are the best in my opinion and their latest model has the same level of comfort and the previous models of their with all the features you’d want. It has a bright main beam, multiple brightness levels of a walking light, red light, green light, amber light, a red and green laser.
Can this system be used as an E collar without a phone. My son doesn’t have a phone and hunts without me a lot. I would like the tracking capability but just wanna know if he could use it without a phone.
I’m hearing it doesn’t use google maps. What maps does it use? Only thing I hate is my current collar isn’t compatible. I’m assuming your buddy can’t share unless they have the 2 also?
It uses map box which looks just like Google maps with the satellite view. What exactly do you mean your buddy can’t share? You mean can’t track your dog with the pathfinder 2 collar if he has the 1?
@@kennedykrewoutdoors5392 yeah, he would need the pathfinder 2 gps unit to track a pathfinder 2 collar, they use different apps to deal with the new features and upgrades to the internal components like the function button and added battery life.
We have a walker and a blue tick. Is there a way to use the remote to stimulate/tone each dog from the remote? How do you select between dogs on the phone to perform the function(s) above
@@stark_outdoors last question, can you set up more then one geo fence? like if we go to my parents house/in-laws? thanks for the super quick responses btw, got your code in on dogtra site now, hopefully you get a kickback haha
Bottom right press menu then it will bring up another screen and press the device list tab then it will bring up the collars when they are connected and you can edit them from there
Just sent my order in, never had a tracking system before, only been around garmins so I’m excited to try out the pathfinder 2, just to be different than my buddies lol
@@stark_outdoors it's not ,well I know first hand that that a pathfinder 2 was purchase at brass pro in Louisville Kentucky,the collar kept losing track of dog , collar was sent back ,got new collar lost dog at 86yards , don't know the guy name but he told us that they were having problems with the Pathfinder 2 they were pulling them and will try to have it work out and have them back out late Dec r early Jan .
@@stark_outdoors well if it's not true,try to buy one now ,you won't find one .and if you call dogtra they will tell you it will be later Jan or Feb before they have them back on the market,and I do know the guy name but I won't reveal it but he has a link to them and they update him on what going on,
If you feel like it moves too much for your liking I’d try a rubber band or some kind of tape to hold it tight against the collar. It hasn’t been an issue for me.

I’m sure they will get it taken care of, I’ve used mine hard for over a year and it still works fine.

The pathfinder 1 is a great system too.
Good informative video, was just watching the unboxing video of the new system earlier today on dogtra’s website,keep lookin up buddy 🙏🏻
Thank you
Do you have any vids on hunting lights.about to start hunting again and used to use the old night lights and would love something like you use

How do you calibrate the compass on the pathfinder 2. The needle does not point right direction of collar?
Thanks for the review. Been wondering about this. Hard to dump the $ for a garmin. This looks like a good option.

That would be the only feature I would change. Wish it was compatible with each other. I love my system and will be purchasing the new system.
You need to go over to gowild lots of coon hunters over there it's like Facebook for hunting
I’ll check it out

Same way as other tracking systems. Make sure the desired dog is selected and push the button
@@stark_outdoors oh I didn't see a option on the yellow receiver to select a dog
@@jedmarsh3539 you select it on your phone

Hey just bought the pathfinder 2. Can you name each collar,instead of dog 1 or dog 2 etc. If so how?
Bottom right press menu then it will bring up another screen and press the device list tab then it will bring up the collars when they are connected and you can edit them from there
Great info on the 2
Thank you
Can you turn that green light off? Or does it always flash

Good info! Thanks
You’re welcome
Dogtra or Garmin ? Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 🎉
Dogtra
Someone hijacke all my gear last season. .
What's the cost of one of these for 2 dogs ?
I heard they took them off the market, because they had to many complaints on them
Care to name your source because that’s not true whatsoever
@@stark_outdoors it's not ,well I know first hand that that a pathfinder 2 was purchase at brass pro in Louisville Kentucky,the collar kept losing track of dog , collar was sent back ,got new collar lost dog at 86yards , don't know the guy name but he told us that they were having problems with the Pathfinder 2 they were pulling them and will try to have it work out and have them back out late Dec r early Jan .
@@susiekelly4081 that’s exactly what mine is doing right and compass points opposite direction of dog most of the time
@@stark_outdoors well if it's not true,try to buy one now ,you won't find one .and if you call dogtra they will tell you it will be later Jan or Feb before they have them back on the market,and I do know the guy name but I won't reveal it but he has a link to them and they update him on what going on,
Is there anyway that the antenna won't flop around and move so much when the dog runs? What options are there?
If you feel like it moves too much for your liking I’d try a rubber band or some kind of tape to hold it tight against the collar. It hasn’t been an issue for me.
@@stark_outdoors the sounds great. Thank you.
Which stores can I get the system bro is it widely available yet?
Like pet co. Walmart etc
www.dogtra.com/products/tracking-and-training/pathfinder2?IGShopping&Social
Use code stark5 to save some money
Have you used the collar on sanctioned hunts? Some only allow tracking collars Is there a way to use the tracking only without training
They sell track only collars for the hunts, same as the other companies that sell tracking systems
Does it work good with awful phone signal?
It doesn’t need phone signal
