Compass Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my COMPASS's battery draining quickly and showing a "?" icon?

If you see a "?" icon, the GPS may be locked and your COMPASS may need calibration. Calibrating the COMPASS will restore normal GPS function and help improve battery life.

To calibrate the COMPASS, press and hold the left center button to open the calibration screen and follow the on-screen instructions.

Can I view maps on the COMPASS handheld?

You'll see live compass tracking on the handheld. For full maps and track lines, use the PATHFINDER2 app on your mobile device.

Does the handheld have a compass?

Yes, the handheld has a 3-axis compass built in to help track direction, even while you're moving.

What kind of fence or boundary tracking features are available?

When paired with the app, you get access to advanced features like: E-Fence, Geo-Fence, and Mobile Fence for tracking boundaries.

What's the range of the COMPASS handheld?

Depending on the receiver you pair with:
PATHFINDER2 Collar: Up to 9-Miles
PATHFINDER2 MINI Collar: Up to 4-Miles

How many dogs can I track simultaneously?

The handheld can track up to 21 dogs, with up to 4 dogs shown on the screen at once.

Do I get full e-collar control on the handheld?

Yes! You get up to 8 correction types, a stimulation dial, and full customizable buttons/functions.

What correction types are available on the receiver?

It supports nick, constant, nick/constant, tone, pager vibration, boost, and a 1000 LUX LED light.

Can the handheld control both tracking and e-collar functions in one device?

Yes, you can track and train from the same handheld without needing separate devices.

Can the handheld unit be purchased separately to use with my PATHFINDER2 receivers?

Yes, the handheld alone is available for purchase. Click here to shop the handheld.

What's the difference between Select One and Override Mode?

Select One lets you assign up to four corrections to each button. You control one dog at a time—the selected dog on the screen receives the correction, and the buttons follow that dog until you switch to another.

Override Mode allows you to assign corrections to each dog, with up to 4-dogs max. Unassigned dogs will receive live compass tracking only.

How many dogs can be corrected using Override Mode?

You can use Override Mode with up to four dogs. Any unassigned dogs can still be tracked live, but they won’t receive corrections.

Is the COMPASS compatible with my existing PATHFINDER2 system?

Yes! The handheld works with all PATHFINDER2 receivers.

Will the handheld replace my existing PATHFINDER2 connector?

If you already have a PATHFINDER2 system, all you need is the new Compass Handheld and that will be your new connector. You do not need the old connector. Remember, do not pair two connectors to a collar.

Can I use the COMPASS with my PATHFINDER1?

No, the PATHFINDER1 is not compatible with the COMPASS. You can trade in your PATHFINDER1 for credit toward the purchase of PATHFINDER2 MINI COMPASS

LEARN MORE

Do I still need the PATHFINDER2 app to use the COMPASS?

You would need the app to set it up initially and to adjust any settings. After that, it operates as a standalone handheld with limited features. If you want to view your map, you can do so through the PATHFINDER2 app.

Will there be a new app?

No, you will pair the COMPASS Handheld to the existing PATHFINDER2 app.

Is there a monthly subscription to use the app?

No, the app doesn't have any subscription fees and is free to use.

Reviews

So far the buttons are

"So far the buttons are perfectly responsive. Ive had the original PF2 with the one-button since about when it came out. Decided I needed a field trainer for bird season this year and discovered this upgrade. Seems like it will work just fine for my casual hunting use. In the meantime it’s perfect for managing 3 dogs on a big farm. Really nice to not have to dig my phone out for 99% of practical use. One improvement would be only in the software. I can think of 3 paths to different settings light, tone, button, etc: device list for some, general settings for others, and through the E-Collar pane’s subtle device button for others. Still a strong buy, but could make this part less aggravating."

— Foster H. (5/5)

Great combo GPS + E-collar

"I got the Compass so my dog could have freedom to roam our 20 acres, know where he is at all times, and not need a second e-collar. So far it’s been great! - The e-collar functions work like they’re supposed to. We previously used the Dogtra CUE 2, so this was an easy transition. - We use the Mini PF receiver for the 45 lb dog… it’s a little bulky but fits okay. The battery only lasts one full day or so on the Mini for me. After 15-18 hrs, it is usually down to 20-40%, using a 6-10 sec GPS update. - The full size PF receiver seems to last for a few days, but we haven’t put it to the test yet. - The tracking and compass functions have been accurate. It’s nice to immediately know he is X yards and in which direction. The limitation of “within 30 ft” is a little annoying, but is sufficient for the terrain we’re usually in. - The Mobile Fence and Geo-Fence seem to work well so far. I set my boundary, synced it to the collar, and it alerts me when the dog exits/enters the area. I have not yet used the E-Fence, but look forward to the option for when we’re traveling etc. - The screen setup and function buttons are totally customizable, which is awesome. It’s easy to change in the app. - One thing I don’t love is that the stim level dial is very easy to bump and accidentally change. There is a way to lock it, but it takes up one of the four function buttons. - I wish it would stop asking me to save a truck marker. - I initially had trouble connecting the unit to GPS if the app/phone wasn’t connected. Customer service was fantastic, and the new firmware update resolved that issue completely! Thanks, Tyler!"

— Christa (5/5)

Much, much better than my

"Much, much better than my old Garmin Alpha systems that wore out quickly - I had two complete systems for two dogs. The Garmin systems had terrible support and were hard to update. This system is much more intuitive, the screen is easier to read, the pointer is more accurate, and the app is great."

— anthony a. (5/5)

We tried multiple systems to

"We tried multiple systems to keep our dogs contained in our yard, but still needed an easy way to recall them. The compass with the app is the best of both worlds and exactly what we needed. We haven’t had a single issue with the gps signal and the dogs learned within a day or 2 not to continue if they were being paged. I love that it tracks their whereabouts and also their miles per day. I had no idea one of our girls is running over 20 miles in one day!! The only downfall is needing to have whatever device the app is on be close to the remote, but I put it on an iPad and leave it in the house."

— Sarah H. (5/5)

Awesome products

"We just received it today as well as a second collar and we absolutely love it. We charged them up and did a trial on our first beagle and we are in love with it. Will definitely be ordering more"

"Great collar,, love the GPS and being able to control it with my phone or the remote"

— Larry F. (5/5)

Game changer!

"This is my 3rd Dogtra collar, and by far my favorite! Started with a 200c in 2020, heavily used including at the beach daily. Still works perfectly! Upgraded to 1902 Handsfree in 2023 for multiple dogs as our pack grew, also heavily used in the field and salt water. Still works perfectly! So when our underground fencing system was struck by lightning I started researching geofencing and e fencing options. I made the mistake of buying one that begins with “H” and it was ridiculously expensive, inaccurate, and confusing to the dogs (& me)! As a heavy user with multiple dogs I knew we needed a more serious system, this collar checks all the boxes! Training, tracking, containment. The ability to pair with phone (and surprise my Apple Watch) is a total game changer! I have only had the collars for a week, but am very happy with the quality and technology. Have used multiple geofences, mobile fence, and e fence in both wooded and marsh and have not been disappointed! The only thing I have noticed that would be a nice upgrade is that each time you pair the handheld with your phone you have to reprogram the layout for multiple dogs, would be nice if the profile could be saved, but it is easy to setup so I can live with it!"

— Rachael E. (5/5)

Still reviewing devices

"Thrilled that the controller is now USB chargeable, but devices still are not (disappointed). Lighter weight is nice, but still bulky (especially since we put the Smart Bark on the collar (which is phenomenal). Should provide for upgrading collar (since antenna is attached to collar and not removable). A pain putting it on and taking it off each day - should be a adjustable clip type latch (to avoid the flopping end of the collar). Should have a way to attach the very end of the antenna to the collar (we slipped it through the leash hook (and added another hook to make it easier to attach the leash, so the hook should be bigger). We've noticed that accuracy may be an issue - still testing."
