Viewing Hunting Management Units for the Alpha with HuntView Plus Maps

Hunting Management Units (HMU) will not be turned on by default when the HuntView Plus is installed on the Garmin Alpha® 100 dog tracking handheld. Instructions for enabling the mapping are below as well as some helpful tips for viewing the Hunting Management Units on the Map page of the Garmin handheld.

Things to keep in mind:

• Hunting Management Units (HMU) have multiple names depending on the state chosen*
• All Hunting Management Units are show with green lines if multiple units are selected at the same time it may be difficult to view the data
• Only Units available for the state will be shown - example there won't be an option for alligators in Montana
• Some states do not group all species into specific the units - example Oregon has 3 units; Duck, Goose and all other species are grouped together
• The unit number will display at the top of the Map page if the area is highlighted
