Sorry to hear you are having problems. Did you happen to read the Trouble Shooting document I link to in the App Info? Pretty much guaranteed your issue is either that you have your Alpha connected to Garmin's DogTrack widget or that you haven't enabled Remote in the Alpha. Both issues are well described in the document.

Good app in general but the need to frequently remove connection between Garmin widget and the Alpha to let this app work is inconvenient. And the distance data in the widget and in this app is usually different wich is annoying too.

Sorry to hear you are finding the app annoying. Unfortunately the way Garmin has implemented their native support prevents other app connections to the Alpha at the same time. I generally recommend using one or the other, in which case it tends to just work. As for the distance, that's just the value being provided by the Alpha. I'm not sure how you can compare the distance in the app to the widget, as only one of the two can be connected at the same time.

Stavros, sorry to hear you are having issues with the names. Any time I've seen this in the past, it's a problem with the Alpha itself not sending the names. Just changing a name, even if you put it right back to the original, always has fixed the problem. If doing that doesn't fix your problem, feel free to click on "Contact Developer" and I'll happy try to help you trouble shoot the problem.

Use this on a astro 320 and forerunner 235. Test it once. The distance is correct, but the direction is not accurate. the compassarrow on the clock shows not the correct direction, compare to the correct position of the dog on the astro 320. i have got info that more has this problem, usting similar setup as me. Does anyone have a tip how to solve this?

Is this the best widget (out of the ones available) for tracking dogs while upland hunting? Also, I was given a garmin T9 collar, is it possible to connect the collar to my fenix 3HR watch without the handheld?
Developer Reply

You do need one of the hand helds in order to make it work. The collar by itself can't communicate with the watches. The only two of the dog tracker apps that will work on the Fenix3 are this and the basic data field. You'd use that one if you also want to record your activity, but it just gives a simple direction to your dog, along with some basic geo-fence alerts.

Sorry to hear you are having problems. Chances are you've used Garmin's Dog Tracker Widget which prevents my apps from connecting until you use the widget to "forget" the Alpha/Astro. There are instructions in the troubleshooting section of my help document how to fix this. Unless you have other Alpha's/Astro's around, you should just leave the ID set to 0.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with the app. I'm not sure what you mean that it isn't compatible with the French version of the Alpha 100. This would likely be an issue with the Alpha and not the app. Please feel free to contact me directly at the "Contact Developer" link if there is something I might be able to help you with.

Fantastic app for all you Garmin Astro/Alpha/xxx owners! Really makes Garmin look good. The convenience is worth your dog's weight in gold! Much easier to glance at a watch than to pull the Garmin unit out, not to mention the safety of being able to put the Garmin unit in a safe (unable to lose) place! The greatest thing in my opinion is the ability to set distance parameters/alarms for your dog. You no longer have to watch the Garmin screen when in thick cover to see where you dogs are! If they are within the range you set, no problem. If not, You are notified! Great addition! Garmin should be paying you big bucks for this app Eric! (So should the users too, but everyone knows bird dog addicts don't have any money so..... Also, I cannot thank Eric enough for his support on ironing out a few issues on my part! His commitment and service ethics are a very rare commodity these days, and extremely, extremely appreciated. Thanks for such a great job!

Nice app! Using Astro 320 and Forerunner 235. Arrow is red though even when I have full gps signal on my 320. Would like to see dog status also, moving, sitting barking.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the app. The arrow color indicates if the dog is moving or not, Red indicates it is not moving. Green indicates it is moving. On the multi dog "ring" view, the colors match the color set for the dog on the Astro. The border around the arrow gets thicker when the dog is not moving. The big ring color also indicates if the furthest dog is moving or stationary.

Is it possible to use Dog tracker app for locating mobile phone instead of Garmin Astro/Alpha?
Developer Reply
January 18, 2018,
ekutter
Unfortunately no. It relies on Ant+ communication with the Alpha which sends the location of the Alpha and Dogs to the watch. There is no such communication with the phone. It would probably be possible for someone to write such an app but that would require both a CIQ app running on the watch and an app running on your phone. In this case, the phone would need to be with in BT range to get the communication.
