It all started when I bought the Huntveiw Plus cards. I was trying to get around loading Birdseye maps to use on my tablet. The tablet will not show the dogs on Basecamp, basestation mode with out a current subscription and down loading new maps to Basecamp on the tablet every year. I put the Huntveiw Plus in the Alpha thinking all would be fine. I have been fighting with the Garmin since my Birdseye subscription expired sometime between 10/12 and 10/18. Had my back up Drive Track with me though with the Huntveiw card. Then the Drive Track must have crashed several times Friday and at least 10 times before noon Saturday. Yes, both are up to date on updates. Took care of that Friday night, thought that may be part of my issue. Somebody could have got a DriveTrack 70 cheap! I don't like the Huntveiw card in the DT got to have it zoomed in too far to see clear detail. Well, on the way home I stopped by Pets of America, Buzzard Roost has a shop there, and picked up 2 subscriptions of Birdseye. Activated them using Garmin Express. Then Basecamp would not let me download new maps on my tablet. Finally, I realized that was due to the Alpha down loading the internal memory. Could not see it all on the tablet like on a desktop. I can only see one line at a time on the tablet. Well, thank goodness I figured that out, I was about to throw it all in the pond. Got new maps loaded and ready to go. Then I hooked the DT-70 up and decided I would activate Birdseye and down load maps on it. So, I tried to just transfer maps to the mini-sd card, dang to was too simple. Checked and that worked. So then I got to thinking about downloading the maps and using the card with the tablet and see if that works. Then I realized I needed a mini-sd for the tablet. I then took the Huntveiw plus card and plugged it in the tablet. I Couldn't tell what was going on, found the maps on the menu and nothing. Boom! Finally maps pop up. I remove them. to repeat the process nothing. Just thought I had it figured out. Then out of no where the maps popped up. Remember, not being able to see every action on the tablet. Yelp! Figured out it just took that long to load it. Hooked the Alpha back up, basestation mode and hit Basestation and satellite images did not disappear. Now, I thought is that because I have a Birdseye subscription or not. I then went and got my other Alpha without a current Birdseye subscription and plugged that into the tablet, opened Basecamp and the Huntveiw images where still there. Hit Basestation and Huntveiw images were still there. Now, why couldn't the people at the help desk have ask me if the Huntveiw card was in my tablet or Alpha 100? I have already naturally lost a bunch of hair, didn't need to pull anymore out. Just maybe I have it figured out there is a way to have the satellite images on Basecamp and show the dogs in Basestation mode with out having to mess with Birdseye every year. We'll see. What is amazing to me is the Huntview in just as clear as the Birdseye when zoomed out on my tablet, but not on the DT-70.
