How far can a pet GPS tracker locate?

Want to know how far a pet GPS tracker can locate? We need to first know what positioning technology this locator uses. Different positioning techniques have different positioning ranges. The GPS cat locator has no positioning range limit. We know that GPS signals cover the world. So why sometimes we can't get the positioning of the pet GPS tracker?

How does the pet GPS tracker work?

In order to locate your missing pet, the pet GPS tracker uses satellites to locate the exact location of the pet. The common one is GPS. If you want to obtain the location of the pet GPS tracker. We also need a cat locator to transmit location data to the phone. So there will be scope limitations at this point. When the mobile phone signal is weak, we will experience a delay in obtaining location data. When we are in a place where there is no mobile signal, the phone cannot obtain the positioning data of the locator. At this point, we are unable to obtain the positioning of the pet GPS tracker. But this does not mean that the cat locator is not working. When you enter a place without mobile service, the tracker still works and updates. The delay in location data is due to your phone not receiving information in a timely manner, not because the location has not been accurately updated.

What are the positioning modes of pet GPS tracker?

The pet GPS tracker has two positioning modes: default positioning and real-time tracking positioning. Using GPS positioning technology for positioning is very power consuming. The pet smart product locator supplier has designed a default positioning mode to extend the range of the locator. When the default positioning mode is enabled, the cat locator will detect position positioning every few minutes. This can reduce power consumption and extend device endurance. These locations will be connected into a line, allowing you to understand the pet's activity path. When the real-time tracking and positioning mode is enabled, we can obtain the real-time position of the pet. In this mode, the power consumption is relatively high. So why was this pattern designed? This positioning mode is used when pets are lost. When we discover that pets are lost. Open real-time tracking and positioning mode with the app. We can obtain the real-time location of the pet. Quickly retrieve pets.

Which is more accurate in positioning, pet GPS tracker or mobile phone?

The positioning of mobile phones is determined by combining a large amount of data. The mobile phone will use GPS, network, Bluetooth, and WiFi network databases to determine the location. At the same time, mobile positioning will also combine user data. The pet GPS tracker is unable to obtain user data. So the positioning of mobile phones is more accurate. But this does not mean that the positioning of the pet GPS tracker is inaccurate. The positioning accuracy of cat locators is generally less than 10 meters. This is already a precise positioning data. This positioning accuracy is sufficient for us to understand the position of pets.
