Re: Garmin external monitor

Buddy, Yes, works with the Alpha. In fact it was no doult designed for the Alpha. Howevever, I think that the 320 was initially made to run that type of program given the UBS connection that was part of the initial offering when it was first introduced. Don't know why Garmin didn't release live trac...

But you CAN NOT show the waypoints at the same time. I you need waypoint information to more corrdectly site the dogs, you have...

Re: Is the 320 the same size as a 220?

About the same. However, the 320 does NOT fit in the same mounting bracket holder as the 220. The "snap" on butten is in a different place on the back of each. I own both and the 320 can not share the same mounting bracket.

Re: Garmin external monitor

No problem, want to spread the "word," The more of us using the 220 live tracking feature the better in terms of future support. Suggest letting Scott at Topofusion know why you are signing up. Also, feel free to x-cross post to other "hound" forums. And of course let us know how...

Re: Garmin external monitor

Yes, installs easy. But does lack online manual. So you can see why the learning curve during kill season was difficult. As for the "centering" problem, try starting the Astro tracking with "centering" checked on. Once your tracking starts, go back to the live tracking screen and...

Re: Garmin external monitor

Steve, yes "real time," display on the external PC screen. Mine is running on a HP Mini Note book, using the Astro 220 connected via its original cable to a serial port. After using the Astro the first year I realized that a larger display was badly needed for ease of use in real time trac...

Re: Garmin external monitor

After looking for a program to proivide "real time," live tracking on a PC using data from an Astro 220, I found a program called "Topofusion." Written for Search & Rescue, it takes the data stream sent from the a DC-30 or DC-40 and displays it on my netbook PC. So rather the...
