Common problem. The DC 40 has to go back to Garmin as the electronics have went bad.

It's like it is updating but not showing his track but it never looses communication with the collar

If you have two collars then swap the antennas around on them and see if that helps.

got a question about transfering waypoints and nobody i've talked to seems to have same issue i do and they think i'm crazy i believe. heres the issue: i have all my waypoints saved on basecamp which i transfered from my alpha. well its seems everytime i transfer them to a couple of the guys i hunt with 320 on basecamp they dont show up on the 320. through basecamp i can tell that they are on the 320 but dont show up on the screen. only way i have found to get them to show up is to do a hard reset on the 320. then they show right up, i've called garmin about this issue and i am ejecting the unit as they tell me to but this doesnt fix it. anybody else tried to this even heard about this, for sure its not just me. thanks

Sam the compass will be blank until you turn on a dog collar.
Then it will know where it is and point to it.

I BOUGHT THIS COLLAR USED. CHARGED IT AND USED IT ALL NIGHT THE FIRST NIGHT. THE SECOND NITE, IT DIED ON THE DOG AN HOUR INTO THE HUNT. CHARGED IT, UNIT SAID FULL CHARGE. I UNPLUGGED IT OFF THE CHARGER AND A COUPLE MINUTES LATER, BOTH RED LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON. I UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY AND LEFT IT FOR A MINUTE PLUGGED IT BACK IN AND RED LIGHTS SHUT OFF. WHILE I HAD IT APART, I PUT ANOTHER BATTERY IN IT FROM A COLLAR WITH ALOT FEWER HOURS ON IT. PLUGGED IN CHARGER, BLUE LIGHT COMES ON, IT CHARGES 4 HOURS OR SO BLUE LIGHT GOES OFF, BUT COLLAR WON'T POWER UP. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. <v>

Mr. Allen which model Garmin it this on and it there a pink line between them. What is the ICON a symbol of? A push pin, flag etc.

If there is a pink line between then stop navigation.
Blue push pin, turn off and back on and it should be gone.
blue flag then delete the waypoint you assigned to the flag
