I watch the screen plenty, but I don't worry about keeping up with the dogs. If they are a mile or so out, then I might start trailing them a bit. The other night, we just parked on a high spot and dropped the dogs. They hunted in several directions about 900 yards. Once they had pretty much covered the area, we loaded up and hit another area. It was nice to see that the dogs had covered an area, and we were able to save the dogs a bit, by loading them up and taking them to a different area to try. With radio, I would have had the system out several times listening to the beeps.
I like having the Garmin as a tool. Just the other night, I was able to see that I had a young dog leading an older dog by about 50 yards on several occasions. Without watching the garmin, I would have just assumed that the young dog was following.
Marvin, Have you checked with Garmin to see if they will sell you a refurb unit?
