The tracker works good. The app sucks. drops the tracker, does not connect. Will not stop beeping. and yes I let customer support know. If you want to call them that. I expected so much more from a garmin tracker. I am updated to the latest version. I have it to auto update. Of course I keep checking the bluetooth and celluar and it defaults back to just one or the other, but not both. I bought this to keep track of my dog on my acres. To protect her. Everytime it drops her I panic.

first of all, i am satisfied with the tracker, but not at all with the app. the app is neither well thought out, finished nor fully functional. you can choose from two maps (in sweden). one is extremely bad and the other is bad. some paths and lakes are missing. there is the option of adding satellite images to the map, but unfortunately this does not work. I would have expected a lot more from garmin. there is a lot to improve here.
