Dogs Are Forever Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Have been looking at these and cannot work out whether you can use an ordinary mobile phone to track the dog - the unique tracking device which can be bought is quite expensive. Any info much appreciated. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertie Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Sorry not sure of dogs but we are GPS tracked in the trucks & boss can see us on the phone. (Smartphone). Ask the sellers if they set that up for you as part of the price, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubyroo Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm not sure whether you can use a phone, but I've read that the garmin unit is the best. The other brands just don't have the reliability. Maybe try google? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I do know that they are used in the States for tracking pointing dogs that get out too far!!!!!!! I have seen the traces but not sure if they were from a mobile phone or a computer. I also heard that they are being used on Macquarrie Island for the rabbit eradication project to mark the spot where the dogs indicate there are rabbit signs so that the exact tussock can be known and revisited.
