To “track” your pet, you must have both modules within 6’ of each other and then alert the app you’re about to go on a walk to begin gps tracking. So, if you walk your pet without a leash, it’s fantastic in case your canine takes off to chase a rabbit. GPS is active and it’s a simple matter of following the once a minute updates.

The battery life on this is great. Alerts usually within 2 miles of her safe zone. Which only happens when she's in the truck. Easy to charge on the go if need be, by not needing a charging base, just a micro USB cord. Very accurate in location. Like to test it and it's pretty quick to find her. James T. · whistle.com
