The Garmin Alpha® 200 is the standard handheld with a 3.5" touchscreen, button controls, long battery life (up to 20+ hours), and a micro-USB charging port. It supports multiple dog tracking and custom dog groups for easier management.
The Alpha® 200i has all the same features but adds inReach® satellite communication for two-way messaging, SOS alerts, and location sharing when out of cell range (requires a monthly subscription).
The Alpha® 200 Plus functions like an upgraded Alpha 300 with faster performance, better reliability, and a modern USB-C charging port. It also supports multiple dog groups and boasts an extended battery life of up to 60 hours, while keeping the same 3.5" screen size as the 200.
