The tracker works good. The app sucks. drops the tracker, does not connect. Will not stop beeping. and yes I let customer support know. If you want to call them that. I expected so much more from a garmin tracker. I am updated to the latest version. I have it to auto update. Of course I keep checking the bluetooth and celluar and it defaults back to just one or the other, but not both. I bought this to keep track of my dog on my acres. To protect her. Everytime it drops her I panic.

Installed easily enough, and I was able to configure it and have it connect to my Alpha 200i. However, after the first sync, I was surprised to see that no tracks or anything else had been (...) Updated the app, and wasted another hour fumbling around. Garmin still can't manage to write working software.

Poorly thought out UI with clutter and noice removing focus from what is important, no way to filter views on map-markers, no way to create (as i can find) hunting ground boundaries. Please focus on creating awesome products and api's and 3rd party possibility and let others build the bespoke hunting apps.
