The PATHFINDER2 MINI Compass Set is built for hunters who need dependable GPS handheld control paired with a lighter receiver made for dogs 15 lbs and up. At the center is the COMPASS handheld—a rugged, waterproof GPS connector with a crisp 2" display, a live compass, and fast 2-second updates that work anywhere, with no cell signal or monthly fees required.

The COMPASS handheld keeps you connected with real-time direction, distance, speed, and motion—even in thick cover. Track up to 21 dogs, viewing four at once on the screen. Customize training your way: assign each button to a different function for one dog, or dedicate buttons to multiple dogs for instant, no-look handling. The 100-level dial gives you precise control when it matters.
The PF2 MINI Compass Set includes the compact PF2 MINI receiver, designed for smaller-large dogs without adding bulk to the collar. Though lightweight, it delivers a 4-mile range and full training functions: nick, continuous, tone, Pager vibration, and an LED locate light. Receiver Lock Mode and Sleep Mode help conserve battery during long days in the field.
Run the COMPASS on its own for complete tracking and training without your phone. Or pair it with the free PF2 app to unlock satellite maps, offline navigation, GPS fencing, and public land boundaries. No fees. No data plans. Just dependable performance anywhere you hunt.

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.

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)

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."

— STEVEN G. (4/5)

On our first camping trip

"On our first camping trip our dog bolted and ran about a mile out. Thank god we had the gps collar on him, we were able to locate him with ease. 100% worth the price"
