 not tryin to sound like and a#$ but i had the same problem and i just read the directions that came with the unit and it workt fine, the only thing i think i hav probs with is my maps i loaded. i dont think i hav the topo maps loaded properly or somethin and i followed the garmin maps link on this forum to load themonto the micro sd card and then onto my garmin but it dont look any different than it did b4 and i even read the directions several times. it seems garmin designers need listen to what we hav to say and come hunt with us and they would understand our frustrations. i tried callin them a wk or so ago and was told my wait time was 35min and it was in the middle of the day when most folks should be workin not talkn on the phone.

I thought a map came on it and you had to download better maps. I found out it dont come with a simple map. I was under the wrong impression the whole time but I did get it calibrated and both collars linked. It took me a long time to get it to track both collars at once but I got it fgured out and dont remember how I done it.
