Garmin Birdseye - Display Tracking

[barnold1]

Posting for the more experienced users out there: is there anyway to manipulate the display settings so you can center the display around a designated dog (instead of you), while also showing the tracks/location of other dogs running? This was simple on the 220, but on the 320 with the Birdseye download it's either centered on my location or I can only track the one dog selected. Thanks for any tips.

I only use it on one dog but I am pretty sure the only setting you can choose like that is when you are running multiples you can make it to where they all stay within the map area...

I am kinda curious about it

i was messing with mine the other day after I read your post. I think if you go to setup, dogs , then zoom map to dogs that might work for you. The thing is though you have to stop tracking collars you arent using at the time because it will show them on the map at the last place they got signal and the map will keep zooming out to show you all the collars even though they arent on. To stop tracking hit dog button, hightlight dog you want, hit enter, then menu at top of screen will ask, stop tracking, highlight that and hit enter. to start tracking again go to dog list , find collar, bring up info page , menu , start tracking.
I know I get annoyed when i am zooming in on dogs and the screen moves off of them and I have to scroll around to find them again.


hope this helps

When I zoom map to the dogs, the display stays centered on me. I'm trying to center the map on a specific dog, since they stay packed so tight I could throw the blanket over 'em, to keep the map display zoomed in close on the dogs no matter how far they move away from me. This worked on the 220. I know where I am and don't need to be the center of attention on the screen.

Oh i see what you mean.... For me, if I put zoom to dogs it does follow the dogs.. or at least the map gets bigger and follows them out..

I move the cursor on the dog or dogs then zoom in and the screen stays centered on them.
