Garmin Alpha 100 v. 4.20 Shutting Down
I received my first Garmin Alpha 100 and updated it to version 4.2 last week. It shut down numerous times. The maps failed while deep in unfamiliar timber. No topo, no birdseye. Garmin swapped it out for a new unit.
I received the replacement yesterday, and carefully followed the instructions for updating it to 4.2. The maps displayed all night. The unit shut down more than a dozen times. The direction indicators on the maps frequently pointed in a very, very wrong direction. If I had not been able to hear my hound, I'd still be looking for her if I had to rely on the Garmin Alpha 100 with TT 15.
I had calibrated the compass, the touch screen, and had a fully charged battery. Everything was new right out of the box.
