No More Scouting With GPS Tracker

By Alexander Hunt


Sometimes pets make the decision to go exploring without us, but they do not realize that they can get lost by being so impulsive. Which only makes the owner stress out because they can not find their beloved best friend. An easy way to fix this problem, is to buy a GPS tracker.

This current technology will relieve a lot of grief in the future for those who invest in a tracking device. There are different models available at different prices, which most of them are listed at an affordable price. So do not worry about breaking your budget, when you decide to purchase this great piece of technology.

The final decision when choosing to buy a GPS system will be based on the different styles to choose from. Make sure to pick out the perfect model for you. This can be done by knowing what you want the device to be capable of.

The right device for you is out there, it will just take time and research to find it. While researching the different models out there, you may find one named the Pet Detective. It's focus is to save the battery life in the pets transmitter. Which is why it has an additional antenna attached to the home base.

The extra antenna in the Pet Detective saves battery power by allowing it to receive signals at a close range without using the battery. Close range is considered to be between one hundred and three hundred feet. When the pet leaves this range the GPS satellite will start to pick up your pets location and transmit it to the GSM modem.

One thing you should know about these receivers, is they all usually require a cell phone plan. And if they do not the land range of locating your pet is only about a mile. A benefit to these types of receivers is there would be no monthly cost for communication applications.

One kind of model to research, is the RoamEO. It has the amazing technology of being able to keep track of up to three animals at once. It also lets you create your own perimeter gate that will alert the animals when they attempt to leave the allowed range. This receiver is a great idea for those multiple animal owners.

VHF radio signals are also used in some brands of the GPS tracker systems. Garmin Astro is one brand that has used radio signals to converse with satellites in their technology. Their device is handheld, which makes it easy to carry around with you. Another option available with this particular device, is the trail locator. It will show you the trail your pet takes and update it every five seconds.
