Garmin help ?

Works fine at the beginning of the hunt,but if I hunt very long , it will track a dog, lets say 300 yds, and it seems to get stuck at that reading. Even when I go to a tree, or the dog is standing right next to me, it still reads 300 yds. It will not update.

is it a 220 or 320 ?

you may try updating your handheld and collar

220 with dc 40 collar.

first check track log ! main menu next advanced next gps applications next tracks track log will come up you can clear hope this helps

if your log isn't full you can try upgrade from 220 to collar turn collar on then hit dog button then enter button then menu button then upgrade dog unit

Thanks, I'll give it a try and let you know.

Make sure it is not in battery saver mode. Just had one that done the same thing and that was the problem.

Just what exactly does battery save mode do? Obviously supposed to save battery... but doesnt seem to do any of the things I would expect to save the battery like - dim screen, turn back light out sooner than its set to, change frequency of updates etc.... I just dont notice any difference one way or the other?

LOL yeah thats pretty much the same conclusion I came to in just messing around with everything on the astro

thats a good question i'm not sure ! maybe garmin guru will know lol ! i do know that it will work better with tracklog emptied ! glad i could help

Tried it tonight with no problem. I wish I could turn most of that stuff off. All I need it to do is point the way, and tell me how far!!! I guess they never heard " less is better''

Track log showed 99 percent. I cleared it so I bet that fixed it. If I turn the track log off will it still show track log while I'm hunting , but just won't save it ?
