Garmin Alpha 10 Software Update v3.12 – What You Need to Know

Garmin released a new software update for the Garmin Alpha 10, bringing the device to version 3.12. This update includes subtle but meaningful enhancements aimed at improving usability and overall performance for dog handlers in the field.

What's New in Version 3.12?

Inactive Dog Support
With this update, Alpha 10 users now have the ability to manage inactive dogs directly from their handheld. This is especially useful when rotating dogs during a hunt or training session. You can now keep collars paired without removing them from the system, simply toggling their active status when not in use. This small tweak streamlines handling and helps maintain an organized dog list.

Feature Improvements
Garmin has also made general feature improvements to enhance overall functionality. While specifics haven’t been detailed, users can expect a more responsive interface and smoother transitions between tracking and training modes. These updates reinforce the Alpha 10's reputation as a reliable, compact GPS dog tracking and training system.

Why It Matters

The Garmin Alpha 10 remains a favorite among hunters and trainers who want a lightweight, no-nonsense handheld with full GPS tracking and training capabilities. With version 3.12, Garmin continues to refine its software to meet the evolving needs of the field offering better control and improved user experience with every update.
