Title: astro 220 issue Post by: Reuben on September 01, 2014, 07:26:57 pm my astro 220 works pretty well with the long range antenna...but it has started pointing in the opposite direction as from where the dogs are...has anyone on here had that issue? and if so what was the fix?

Title: Re: astro 220 issue Post by: Reuben on September 01, 2014, 07:51:13 pm thank you Judge...when you say delete everything do you mean delete all the collars and then re-enter them?

Title: Re: astro 220 issue Post by: Reuben on September 26, 2014, 05:19:12 pm here is the fix for my astro 220 not pointing in the right direction...
1. Press the "map" button 2. press the menu button and highlight "Setup Map" 3. Press the "enter" button 4. Highlight the "window" next to Orientation and press "enter" if it is reading in that window "track up" then that is your problem... 5.schroll to "North Up" and hit "enter" and now I/you will know which direction the dogs are located/running...

Title: Re: astro 220 issue Post by: ferris tx on October 01, 2014, 09:20:32 pm Quick fix get 320 they work real well.
Title: Re: astro 220 issue Post by: Reuben on October 15, 2014, 04:04:14 pm finally was able to down load Garmin webupdater and updated my astro 220...they were very helpful and it didn't take long...they said I should now have more satellites and more range...drop dogs a lot less...hopefully I won't have hook up to my long range antenna as often...
so now I can download without assistance...and Garmin gives outstanding service... |
