Buddy,
Yes, works with the Alpha. In fact it was no doult designed for the Alpha. Howevever, I think that the 320 was initially made to run that type of program given the UBS connection that was part of the initial offering when it was first introduced. Don't know why Garmin didn't release live ...

Re: Is the 320 the same size as a 220?
About the same. However, the 320 does NOT fit in the same mounting bracket holder as the 220. The "snap" on butten is in a different place on the back of each. I own both and the 320 can not share the same mounting bracket.

Re: Garmin external monitor

Re: Garmin external monitor
Steve, yes "real time," display on the external PC screen. Mine is running on a HP Mini Note book, using the Astro 220 connected via its original cable to a serial port. After using the Astro the first year I realized that a larger display was badly needed for ease of use in real time tracking ...

Re: Garmin external monitor
After looking for a program to proivide "real time," live tracking on a PC using data from an Astro 220, I found a program called "Topofusion." Written for Search & Rescue, it takes the data stream sent from the a DC-30 or DC-40 and displays it on my netbook PC.
