GPS Keeps Track Of Pets

GPS Keeps Track Of Pets LIVESTOCK DOGS 29-1-30 Wandering pets can be tracked at all times by this new GPS device that simply clips onto their collars. But you'll only want to put it on a valuable animal since, at $349, it's not cheap. The device consists of a 3 1/2-in. long transmitter that sends location updates every few seconds to whatever receiver you choose, whether it be your mobile phone, pager, PDA or computer (in text or map form). The information can even be simultaneously sent to more than one person. "Globalpetfinder has incorporated the latest technology in advanced antennae systems to ensure the best performance, even in heavily wooded conditions," according to Globalpetfinder CEO Jennifer Durst. "If, for some reason, the device is temporarily unable to get a satellite ælock,' it will continue to search until it does, and you will always know where your pet was last." You can set boundaries for your pet, so that you're sent an alarm if the animal strays too far. The unit is protected by a sealed, water-resistant, durable case and operates on three rechargeable AAA batteries. It's programmed to alert you when it's time to recharge. Globalpetfinder is available exclusively on the company's website.
