Random idea, but here (Italy) it is common enough for hunters to have dogs fitted with a GPS locator when they go in the woods hunting, those are often costly, but there are simpler/cheaper versions intended for use where there is good coverage of cellular networks.
I wonder why - since this service is so innovating/high tech - they don't simply provide their pet walkers with a number of such devices, I believe they cost (at end-user level) in the 50-80 Euro range, maybe 100 for more professional versions.
- CamperBob2 9y agoGood application for LoRaWAN, maybe. Potentially a lot cheaper than cellular.
- cpwright 9y agoWe tried the Whistle 3 for our do. It only wants to update every 10 minutes unless you're in "track mode" at which point is every 60 seconds. A dog can cover a lot of ground in that time; so it's OK if the dog just wandered out of your yard; but not useful if he's taken off after a deer (particularly because our local park has marginal cell service). The ones hunters use are only about a 2.5 second delay.
