New update needs tweaking

Sadly the new update brought upon some adverse changes as per usual with any Garmin update. They can’t seem to get software figured out. Now when tracking a dog you don’t get to see distance, heading, or name on the map you just follow the tip of a line around.

Thanks for your feedback and letting us know about this issue. This should be fixed in upcoming version 5.3.2

New update is garbage

The new update is terrible. The tracks won’t clear now. So when you track your dog at home or a place you frequent regularly you just get a map filled in with black lines. Garmin makes great hardware, but they’ve always been trash in the software department. I’m actively looking to move to a different hardware company that provides useable software for their products. I can only recommend Garmin if you don’t need software support for your device.

Thanks for your feedback. Have you tried the Track Length Management which will let you set a preferred track length, but also clear your tracks on the screen? You find it on the map view as a button in the upper right corner.

Unit setting options

Need to be able to change distance units to yards instead of feet to match the handheld.

Quail Hunting

Peace of mind. I do not have to worry about losing my Red Setters, in the woods when hunting. I also enjoy looking at the distance the dogs ran that day. Also how far I walked. This is good technology, which makes Quail hunting with my dogs more enjoyable.

Map Options Don’t Work

Green screen is all I get when I choose satellite. I used to get Satellite with the Explorer App, but even after updating the Alpha app tonight, I get a stupid green screen & still have no idea where my dog is on my property. Two weeks ago they said they were working on it. Wonder how long it takes to get it fixed or if it ever will be fixed!

Great app

I really enjoy the improvements made to this app lately. A few things I wish could be corrected is in your inventory tab. It would be nice to be able to share that or print it. It would also be awesome if you could use this app with Apple CarPlay, or even an Apple Watch.

Decent but needs improvements.

Give user the option to make corrections directly from the app. Also make it easier to switch between Bluetooth devices or better yet give the user the option to connect multiple devices at once

Living life protected by Garmin

Love everything Garmin. I have had fishing equipment to bird dog collars and watches. Costumers service is second to none.

Wont pair

I just received my Alpha 10 remote and collar in the mail this morning. I have spent over 2 hours today trying to get the remote to pair to the app and it will not work. I have followed all of the trouble shooting suggestions.

Terrible app

Explorer is twice the app. The map is missing a lot of trails and streams.

Disappointed

I love garmin. But this app is lacking significantly. The only saving grace is the alpha lte’s ability to connect to cell towers, which is great. It doesn’t help though if the app is horrendous. There are free apps out there that work off your cell phone’s tracking gos service that blow this app out of the water.. what is going on with the app software developing team on this one??

This app is toast

Unable to view any data from my Alpha 10 on the map. Can see the device is connected and synced but the map is not showing the handheld or my dog.

Fix it

Doesn’t track the handheld most of the time. Dog tracking lags making tracking inaccurate. I unpaired the handheld to try to correct some problems and now it won’t pair with no explanation. After buying an iPad and spending over 7 grand on a 300i and sixteen TT25s, I can’t use a simple app. Ridiculous.
