Modern technologies have greatly facilitated life in many of its areas. It concerns the maintenance of pets. More and more owners are purchasing comfortable collars with GPS for dogs, so as not to worry about their pet.
Collars for dogs with a navigator
GPS-collars are a device consisting of two structural parts: the collar itself, which is fixed on the dog's neck, it is located on it a mount for installing the GPS tracker, and the actual navigator, which can track and transmit the coordinates of your pet's location directly to your mobile phone. The tracker is fixed on the collar as necessary and can work in different modes. So, if you just go for a walk with a dog and just in case put on a collar with GPS, then the more economical mode is usually turned on when the location signal is transmitted through the cell towers. The accuracy of such coordinates is 300-500 meters. If you go with a dog to an unfamiliar place or where the communication towers are located at a considerable distance (for example, into a forest), then the tracker will transmit coordinates via a satellite GPS network. This signal helps to locate the object with an accuracy of 5-10 m, which is very convenient especially in environments where there are no clear landmarks that can be seen on the interactive map of your smartphone (buildings, streets, parks and other). Most often, such collars are purchased for such cases. Collars for dogs with GPS for hunting are very convenient, because on them you can always find your pet, even if it disappeared from the field of your field of vision and disappeared into the forest. GPS collars for hunting dogs are also usually more reliably protected from moisture, mechanical damage, and their attachments are more massive, stronger and more reliable. Before going on a hunt, however, it is worthwhile to check if the planned location for GPS tracking is available, because only in this case it will be possible to use the tracker.
Choosing a collar with GPS
Collars with GPS are different in size and strength. For small dogs, it is better to choose lighter specimens, and a large dog can easily wear a large enough tracker. Also it is worth paying attention to how tightly the GPS transmitter sits in its mount. It must be securely fixed there and not move. It is also preferable if the mount has additional ways of protecting it, preventing the tracker from accidentally falling out.
It is worth paying attention also to the battery, which is equipped with a tracker. Usually its capacity starts at 500 mAh. This capacity allows you to continuously track the location of the object for about 5 hours and receive periodic data about its coordinates for about 15 hours. Switching the tracking mode from permanent to periodic is also a big plus of certain transmitter models. Additional pleasant options are: the possibility
