Garmin Alpha 4+

I can tell where my dog is on the map. That’s awesome and all I really need. None of the hunt features or track recording seems to work. All distances and metrics are very wrong

The Garmin Explorer apps lets you display tracks which helps to show unmarked trails or other map functions. The explore app also USED to let you track your dogs from the compatible Alpha tracking box. Why this app was ever created in the first place I’ll never know. A great app (the old explore app) lost part of its functionally to make the Garmin Alpha app. Now you have two apps both with partial functionality when the original explore app used to do everything the alpha app does and more. If I could give this Zero stars I would as it has no purpose. Now that the new version of explore was released my alpha box will pair with either the alpha app - or all of Garmin’s other apps (Tread, Explore, Messenger). The only one however that you can track on - is the Alpha app.

Horrible update and app from Garmin’s app development team and as always they like to drop a new version mid hunting season that doesn’t work

I have had a 200i for a while and was prompted to update to the Alpha ap in my phone instead of using Explore. Significant let down. Sync takes forever, you can do folders and collections in order to play back handler and dog at the same time. Nothing shows up in the map from saved tracks. It’s awful. Expecting to revert back to the Explore ap shortly unless all if that functionality is pulled into the Alpha.
