Try changing your color setup of your astro. There are several different color patterns. You also have a day and night mode. Play around with them and see what is best for you.

I think in the instruction book somewhere it mentions temperatures change have an effect on the compass. I know during the winter that are more questions on this subject. Just not sure if it is the weather or just more people using them during the winter.

Also if you use a folding antenna and fold it down over the side that at times has an effect on them. Especially the long black on.

When I mark my truck on my Astros 320 it won't mark it on the map. It use to have a little truck picture there now nothing. Is there anyway I can fix that which is no big deal but last night I was in a new woods and got turned around and walked the wrong direction just cause I couldn't mark the truck

.

Even if it doesn't mark your truck you should lay a track wherever you walk just like a dogs track. Just follow it back. Do a master reset and things should change for you.

You can see the distance your dog traveled from the dog information page.
S far as truck distance it is easier to see that distance when you are there
How to do it later depends on if you have an alpha or Astro and what points are still on your Astro
