- As soon as LIVE Tracking is activated, you'll see your pet's position in real time illustrated by a blue line on the map.
If you have our latest Dog or Cat tracker model and have set up a Power Saving Zone, it is only possible to activate LIVE tracking if the tracker is within Bluetooth range of the mobile device you are using.
Stop LIVE Tracking
Turn off LIVE Tracking by simply clicking on the Stop button and confirming that you would like to end the session. LIVE Tracking may also be stopped in the case of the loss of the mobile network or GPS signal.
Extend LIVE Tracking duration
The LIVE Tracking session will automatically turn off after 5 minutes to save battery life. If you're not ready to finish your session at that time, just tap Continue LIVE.
Should you wish to change the LIVE Tracking duration to extend beyond 5 minutes, follow these simple steps:
- On the Map tab, tap the tracker icon in the top right corner
- Select LIVE Tracking Duration
- Select either 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
To conserve battery life, we advise limiting the use of LIVE Tracking to times when it's essential to pinpoint your pet's exact location. LIVE Tracking increases battery consumption due to its continuous effort to update the tracker's location every 2-3 seconds.
