Who the Pathfinder2 is for

This is the system for hunters and owners working dogs off-grid who need to know where the dog is and correct at the same time. The handheld Compass model runs independently of a phone with a 2-inch LCD and 2-second GPS updates; the standard Pathfinder2 uses your phone or smartwatch with the GPS Connector. The Mini receiver is 22% smaller for dogs 25 lbs and up, while the full receiver fits dogs 35 lbs and up. Note the Pathfinder2 series is not compatible with the original Pathfinder series.
