March 24, 2025 2 min read

Garmin has officially released a new software update for the Garmin Alpha XL handheld and the Alpha XL VHF Dock. This latest update, released today, includes important bug fixes, feature enhancements, and overall performance improvements. While the ongoing HuntView Map Card issue is not resolved in this version, Garmin has acknowledged the problem and continues to work toward a solution.

Alpha XL Software Version 3.10 – What’s New

The 3.10 update for the Alpha XL handheld includes the following changes:

  • Fixed an issue where the dog direction indicator incorrectly pointed north when no track was displayed.
  • Added the ability to show bark level on the map screen for supported collars—great for handlers who want to monitor barking behavior in real time.
  • General bug fixes and improvements to enhance overall performance and reliability.

These updates aim to improve the user experience for hunters and trainers relying on real-time tracking and training information in the field.

 

Alpha XL VHF Dock Software Version 3.00

In addition to the handheld update, Garmin has also released version 3.00 for the Alpha XL VHF Dock. The main improvement in this update is:

  • Improved USB communication stability between the VHF mount and the handheld navigator.

This small but crucial enhancement helps ensure more reliable data transfer and device connectivity when docked.
