I've got a buddy that couldn't work his 220 and he went and bought an Alpha!! I think he just looks at the arrow.

I wore out my Alpha for 3 years and then sent it back to Garmin and they replaced it for $110. Still running the original 3 TT 10 collars that are now past three years. So I guess I don't think that sucks.

Just bought the alpha, what causes the line that the dog leaves as he is moving to start disappearing. It's like if he trees for awhile the track behind him is gone

Go to dog setup and you can set the time for the do track to stay on the screen. Factory setting is generally 10 minutes. You can turn that feature off and keep the track on the screen if you would like.

Sounds like everyone just wants to complain rather then fix them. all those problems are easy fixes. If it was acting up since it was new it has a year warranty why not send it in.

These people don't want to do anything to fix there unit they would rather complain.
