Alpha deleting dog tracks

Anyone know why my alpha is deleting my dogs tracks randomly? I have it set for dog tracks to stay on map for 2 hours.

Could be several things. The most common is when your Handheld becomes full of info it erases the old to make room for the new. There are several different tracks the handheld saves. There are the tracks left by the handheld itself. There are dog tracks and it also saves and archives tracks. One the hand held there is a Track Manager Menu that you can use to delete unwanted tracks. Another method is to go to Trip Reset from you home page. I think it is on the third page. Select Reset but before you actually reset it. Look and it will tell you the percentage of usage. Kind of verifies for me what the problem is and if by resetting I am loving the problem. Anything over 80% and you can see different issued with tracks disappearing, and also map operation.
I have seen these handhelds so full of archived tracks that they would not even take an update. I am talking two or three years of this. Also another thing to consider. Did you buy your handheld new or used and have you had it a while. The first generation handheld came with an operating system of about half the size on the second generation handheld. Those had more problems with mapping and tracks going away. The first generation handhelds were the ones packed and sole with the TT10. I would also update your handheld once you clear out all the old tracks. Many people think that by selecting the Start New Hunt they are clearing all the tracks. That only does a portion of them.

I think the answer is NO. I did at one time about a year ago when messing with one. Find a button that allowed me to delete all of them at once on a friends unit. But perhaps due to updates that went away as I can't find it again. So my answer is no unless someone else can help out. And if they can I would like to know what software version they have.

How about doing a hard reset? will that erase all old tracks?

Just erase them one at a time Cole, that is a better solution than a hard reset. Worse case is about a 10 minute job.
