Anyone using the Explore mobile app with their Garmin Pro 550 Plus? I've read online that you can sync them so the dogs' movements show up on the map in the app, but I can't find a review anywhere online as to how well it works. I'm toying with the idea of selling my Astro and picking up a Pro 550 Plus. On rare occasions, I like looking at the aerials on my Astro because I can see if the dog is making a B-line away from me or just working out of bell range. But I mostly just keep the Astro in my vest and use my Instinct watch for direction and distance.
Just curious of the functionality of the App with the collar. I'd really like to move to a one collar system, but don't care for the Alpha (personal preference). Any insights are helpful. Thanks.

Spoke (online chat actually) with the kind folks at Garmin and they said it is compatible...
