I have never used the alpha, and have som basic questions for the alpha users out there.
I live in Norway, and will be using it there, can I use the same sd micro card from my astro, with the garmin topo maps?
Witch frequense does it use?
Can I use the same antennas (handheld, car) as on the astro?
Is there a separat charger for the handheld battery available( so I can charge a spare outside the handheld)?
How does the touchscreen work in low temperatures(as low as -5F/-20c)?
In advance Thanks
