I've had that happen a few times. I went into the tracks section and cleared the current track and then the dogs tracks as well. Seems to happen more often when running alot of collars and laying down a lot of tracks before the system auto archives.

Ok I will try that I hide my dog tracks because I hate all the lines. I run 8 dogs. If I start a new hunt does it delete tracks

Just hiding them on the map doesn't actually get rid of them that's why if you change the time limit of how long to show them it will change and show up. Starting a new hunt starts the dogs track and distance traveled over but all the previous hunts are still on the Garmin. Also your tracks of where you've been stay on there even if you start new hunt and they can add up fast if you turn on the Garmin while your driving or leave it on the whole time from the time you leave like I do. To get rid of those you clear current track. Another thing to try is make sure your declutter map is turned on. Like I said it happens occasionally to me and this is what I have done to fix it.

I upgraded from the tt10s to the tt15 minis a few months back and am glad I did. I havent had any problems losing signal or with the battery on both the beagles and coon dog and they fit my small beagles much better and dont bang there legs up like the TT10s.

Randy, I like it a lot whole lot better than putting two collars on. I went with the mini tt15 and have not had any issues not really that hard to use. Ordered my from okie and he set everything up for me and the only issue I have had is this one

Randy, I just switched to the Alpha and the TT15 mini's and I absolutely love the system. I'm going to order my 4th collar soon.
