![]() gpx were the main features for me, and note that the premium plan is needed for worldwide coverage. Having the location history and exporting Mia’s track in. ![]() We had the Premium subscription that allowed us to use all the cool features, so check carefully if the basic plan is enough for you. Tractive offers two different subscription plans with significant differences in functionality. There is a little inaccuracy in the path we took, but it still shows how you can see all the turns that Mia made while Live tracking was on while the default setting only recorded 6 data points on the same track. In this mode, you get a location every 2-3 seconds, and it also shows you the path of the track since starting Live mode.īelow you see how we walked around on the same field twice, first only using the default tracking and the second time using LIVE mode (highlighted with the green heatmap). When the battery save mode is enabled, the location is sent approximately every 10 minutes.īy clicking on the LIVE button in the top right corner of the map, you can start LIVE Tracking to see the real-time location of your pet. To conserve battery life, updates are sent less frequently when your pet is inactive. In default mode, your pet’s location is updated in the app every 2 - 60 minutes. It’s neat that you can recharge it in 2-3 hours, depending on the USB plug you use for the cable. The app will send a push notification when the battery is running low a few hours before it turns off and lets you know when it’s charged. With this usage, we needed to recharge it every 2-3 days on average. We usually had it on Mia for walks only (not when chilling indoors), and in general, that means 1.5-2 hours walk a day with three trainings/hikes per week when we would use the Live mode, and she would run around for a few hours. If you are going for long hikes every day using the Live Tracking mode, you will experience much shorter battery time than in the case of just walking around the block a few times a day. They promise a battery life of up to 5 days, but this will highly depend on how you use the tracker. Using the cellular network for data transfer between the tracker and your phone ensures that you can check on your dog from everywhere - even if you are on another continent. It is made from durable plastic, so there are no scratches or cracks on it at all. The tracker is waterproof (IPX7) and sock proof. We heard people having trouble with Findster’s similar solution, but Tractive’s magnet is much stronger: you can lift the tracker easily by the cable. The charger snaps on the tracker with a strong magnetic force, which holds it attached safely. It comes with a short (8 inch (20cm) cable), which might make it hard to find an outlet to charge it without making the tracker dangle at the end of the cable. We regularly used it in subzero temperatures, which could be hard on rubber materials, but we had zero problems. ![]() When I first attached the tracker to the collar, I was worried it would not hold, but it never failed us. It comes with a rubber clip that fits 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide collars or harness straps. It only weighs 1.2oz (35g) and the dimensions are 0.7 inches (17.5 mm) x 2.8 inches (71.4 mm) x 1 inch (27 mm). The latest design of the tracker is a small and lightweight unit. You can check if it works in your country on this page. An outstanding feature is that the tracker works on many different networks and uses the best available, allowing it to work in 150 countries worldwide. This SIM card will send the location of the tracker to your phone. The tracker has a SIM card in it that is activated when you start a subscription plan. We usually experienced an accuracy of 2-3 meters when Live tracking. Of course, this depends on the environment and the number of satellites available at the moment. ![]() It determines the location using GPS satellites with 7.8 m (25 ft) accuracy at a 95% confidence level. Tractive GPS is a small unit that you can attach to any collar (or maybe harness) and track your pet’s location on your phone or their website. They used to offer different activity trackers and separate GPS trackers for dogs and large animals (like horses), but today they only sell the product called “Tractive GPS.” This can be confusing when reading reviews and descriptions of their products because most people just refer to all of them as “Tractive tracker,” and you only realize later that it had to be an old version because the comments don’t apply to this one anymore. Tractive is an Austria-based company specialized in pet wearables.
