One of the great advantages of the Tractive GPS is the Virtual Fence feature: with it, you'll be notified as soon as your pet leaves a defined safe area. Follow the steps below to set up a Virtual Fence and keep your furry friend safe.

In the Tractive GPS mobile app: 

• Sign into the Tractive GPS mobile app on your smartphone.
• In the Map view, select the desired pet and tap the fence icon in the upper right-hand corner.
• Tap Add a Virtual Fence in the bottom right-hand corner to set up your first Virtual Fence. A pink Virtual Fence will then appear on the map. 
• Tap and hold the center of the Virtual Fence to drag it to the desired location.
• Adjust the size by holding and dragging the pink dot located on the perimeter of the fence. Note: the minimum radius is 50 meters. 
• Here you can also: give your Virtual Fence a name such as Work or Home, choose between a circular or rectangular Virtual Fence, set an icon for your Virtual Fence, activate, deactivate, or delete the fence.
• Press Save to successfully add the Virtual Fence.

• Additionally, you will need to set a separate Virtual Fence for each pet.
