The Alpha XL is Garmin's in-vehicle dog tracking navigator: a 10-inch touchscreen unit that rides on the dash and follows your pack while you drive the tracks. It is built for hound and pig-dog hunters who run dogs from a vehicle and need to see every dog at once.
It tracks up to 20 dogs from as far as 14.5 km (9 miles) with compatible collars, sends stim, tone and vibration commands from the screen, and pairs directly to compatible Garmin collars and handhelds. The head unit runs for up to 2 hours off the dock and powers from a 12 V socket in the vehicle.

Key Features
- See the whole pack – track up to 20 dogs at once with distance, direction and status for each one on the big map.
- Command from the cab – deliver 18 levels of momentary or continuous stim, plus tone and vibration, to paired training collars via the touchscreen.
- Pro view compass – shows which way and how far each dog is, and flags when a dog is treed or on point.
- Pick a clear channel – channel view shows how busy each frequency is so you can move away from other hunters' collars.
- Works off the dock – the screen keeps tracking wirelessly within about 3 m of the radio mount for up to 2 hours.
- Geofence and location alerts – get warned when a dog moves outside an area you set.
- Hunt metrics – review each dog's distance, speed, time afield and daily hunting patterns.
- Backward compatible – pairs with selected T and TT series collars, so existing collars keep working.
- Satellite imagery over Wi-Fi – download imagery to read the terrain from above (Outdoor Maps+ subscription).
Best For
- Pig hunters running bail and finder dogs from a ute across station country.
- Deer and pig hound crews coordinating several dogs from a vehicle on fire trails and farm tracks.
- Anyone who wants a big-screen dog tracker on the dash instead of a handheld.
