Hi everyone,

Does anyone have this?

Looks great and just what I've been searching for but wanted to know if anyone had any first hand knowledge?

I love gadgets, but wouldn't use to track my dog but to see how fast he goes and the distance he covers when we are out.

I wonder how good these things are, I 'd like the webcam/monitor so you can see what your dogs are up to when your'e out (pictures sent your phone) but need to know how good they are before I invest.

I have never heard of the tracker advertised but Garmin are well known & the global market leaders, they are as good as they are in cars.

If you only want it to do that then you can get a much cheaper version. A few years ago a got one of these gps loggers for my Christmas, I wrap it in clingfilm and tape it to the dogs collars and have great fun seeing the patterns they make running and how much ground they cover. I've also used it at the racing to see how fast each dog runs. My lot have been swimming with it on and are always getting wet and muddy so it seems very robust.

Here is an example of what it produces...

At the racing, moved from collar to collar to get top speeds.

Spice met a friend in the woods and had a game of chases

This is what it looks like all wrapped up and taped to a collar.

A day trip to the beach...

The stats

The route

and closeups of areas where they ran wild... 1 and 2

Hope that helps :)
