Track & find your dog with your mobile phone


The unique GPS PRO Dog collar tracking system is an universal and completly new technology for finding, pursuing or tracking your dog: A GPS receiver and a GSM modem with special software is incorporated into the dog collar. Allows you easily and remotely monitoring the location of your dog via your cell phone/mobile phone anywhere in the world with suitable GSM coverage.

The principle: You simply call the telephone number of the GPS PRO Dog collar with your handy /mobile phone /cell phone. The GPS receiver of the collar, estimates the position of the dog and sends the coordinates immediately as SMS (Short Message service) over the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) directly on your mobile phone display. The accuracy of the positioning amounts to the average less than 15 meters.

The GPS PRO Dog system works if the satellite antenna on top of the collar/backpack is able to find signals from at least 4 satellites and if the area where the dog is moving is coverd by GSM network (no other phone network service works!!). Figure 1 and 2 shows the GPS PRO Dog collar.

For communication between GPS GSM collar/backpack and mobile phone you have to insert a sim card into the collar/backpack. You can use every SIM card, maybe from a second mobile phone.

    I'm looking for a tracking unit and the gps keeps popping into my mind. Everyone I've talked to has regular tracking units like wildlife and quick tracks. They don't trust gps and say they wouldn't have one. I hunt alone a lot and don't like the bulkiness of the antenna on the units as I will carry it on me most of the time. Anyone have any experience with the GPS tracking units good or bad? I know the collars are expensive but the unit itself is much lower than most so it should even out with about five collars.

    I think that handheld gps is the best for you. I recommend you Magellan explorist models. Some of them have ability to add maps while other just show your track (where did you walk, parked your car...) To read more about go to explorist gps page where all models are listed.
    Hope that helped.
