Garmin GPS Systems

Garmin's January 2025 software updates for the Alpha 200/300 series enhance performance with bug fixes, improved features, and smoother navigation. Stay updated with better maps, weather, and more reliable connectivity to ensure seamless outdoor adventures.

Garmin has introduced the Alpha XL, Alpha 200 Plus, and Instinct 3 series GPS watches. These new devices offer improved battery life, rugged designs, and enhanced features for tracking and training, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and hunters.

The Garmin Drive Track 71 is an in-car GPS system that can also be used as a navigation system, as well as an in-car tracking system to pair with your dog tracking handheld. Garmin first introduced the ability to pair your handheld dog tracking devices with a car navigation system with their Drive Track 70 unit. They then upgraded that unit with the Drive Track 71, creating a lighter, more powerful navigation and dog tracking system. 

Garmin on 8/7/2024, released a new software update for the Garmin PRO 550 Plus handheld. The Garmin Pro 550 Plus software should be kept up-to-date in order to take advantage of improvements and bug fixes. This release, Version 4.60, adds several new features to the PRO 550 Plus.

The Garmin Alpha 300 and Alpha 300i handhelds have been out for a few weeks now. Now that our staff has got more field time with it and we got to hear feedback from customers, we thought it would be a great time to make a breakdown of the difference between the Alpha 300 and Alpha 200 handhelds.

When it comes to Garmin tracking collars, we have seen a many different variants over the years. Starting with the DC20 way back in 2007, we have since seen the DC30, DC40, DC50, and then finally the T5 family of collars. For the last decade the T5 has been the go-to tracking collars for Garmin GPS systems. This is all about to change with the introduction of the Garmin T20 Tracking Collar.

We are excited to announce what we think is the biggest Garmin product release since Garmin’s launch of the Alpha 100 TT10 system over a decade ago. Introducing the TT25 Collar, T20 Collar, Garmin Alpha 300 handheld, and Alpha 300i handheld! The TT25 and the T20 collars have the most significant improvements that I think we have seen since the TT10 came out.

In this article, we will be breaking down the TT25’s new design features, like the replaceable GPS band, expended life battery pack, Wi-Fi software updates, colored beacon lights, and the new dynamic update rate. Along with these improvements, we will also discuss the new body design and charging clip.

The original Garmin T5 and TT15 collars first made their way to the stage in June of 2014. Many would agree that it’s time for Garmin to come out with an upgraded full size collar. With COVID-19 and the global computer chip shortage, it may have crushed any hopes of a new collar. As a response to the chip shortages...

With the launch of the new Garmin T5X collar, we would like to take the time to compare the new collar with its older version. Upon first glance, you will be able to see that the shell of the two units is virtually the same. The only identifying mark of the two Garmin collars is the serial number sticker...

With the introduction of the new Garmin TT15X collar, we would like to take the time to give you our first impression of the specs of the new TT15X collar compared with its older version. At first glance, it’s apparent that the shell of the two units is nearly identical.

Since the new Garmin Alpha 10 handheld was released, one of the most frequent questions that we got was, “How does the Garmin Alpha 10 handheld compare to other Garmin handhelds?” In an earlier article, we covered the Garmin Alpha 100 vs Alpha 10 handhelds, but now it’s time to discuss the differences between the Garmin Alpha 10 and the PRO 550 Plus handhelds and help you decide which one would fit your needs the best.
