What if no one finds my cat or scans this? Can I still locate him myself with the GPS?

No ma'am. At least when I tried it it didn't work. It's a pretty useless tag unless it gets scanned.

Hi, this is Alex from Toronto. In response to your question, unfortunatelly the "gadget" doesn't have GPS capabilities, so you will not be able to locate your cat:( There are some with GPS function and they cost about $300.00...always cheaper in the USA. I hope this helps.Alex alexsolis@hotmail.com

there's isn't any gps connected to the product. it so people can scan and get all of the information of your pet

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

We have never tracked our dog with ours. We really haven't fooled with it much, but I think the dog has to be pretty close to you in order for the device to pick up. I wish I had bought a GPS one rather than this one.

It's a little larger than a half dollar so it depends on the size of the cat... And if it goes out of range, it will at least tell you when it was last in range.

The odds are he didn't have his radar on at the time you passed by him if your Solo didn't go off.

no, if the cat is outside it might get caught on something and the cat would be stuck there.

Spy Tec has mentioned back on the April 9th that they should have it for sale separately in about a week or so. http://forum.dashcamtalk.com/threads/marcus-1-or-3-anyone-got-them-in-stock-yet-shipping-to-usa.4886/#post-59201Post # 15 hereAlso be aware that the GPS looks like it will not function until you install the newer firmware do to be released soon.

Not enough range it's not an actual gps tracker . It uses your maps via Bluetooth through your phone , so it can only tell you the last place you left it when it was connected to your phone .

He did once, but I've purchased some electronic toys that have been keeping him busy & he's way better. I have to keep his view of the outdoors blocked, too. He sees the strays in the neighborhood & that's when he'll do it. Watch or go to Internet site for the show, "My cat from hell", he gives lots of help. Give them toys, cat nip, keep 'me busy! And get a Nature's Miracle urine cleanser. Black lights help show where they've gone. I have 5 cats. :D

While we do not live in the mountains, we do live at the top of a large hill and our backyard is wooded. We have tracked our 16 year old cat through the woods, down the hill and behind a house at the bottom of the hill with pinpoint accuracy. I would think that as long as the total distance away is within the parameters of the system, it wouldn't matter if the animal was up, down, or sideways!

You hide this in a geocache, and it will send out a signal that can be picked up by another gps. So you don't actually have to find it, you could have It so when you get within 20-30 feet it automatically gives them new coordinates. It would work really well in a multi cache.

It should. For three days leave your cat in (1) one room w/litter, food and water. The 'friend' will get the message.My cat too was originally an outside cat.

It depends on the type of gps tracker, if it is a GPS data tracker that has to be retrieved later, then no. But if it transmits GPS data than yes it can pick them up (tested this and confirmed it personally)Some GPS trackers are stuck onto a vehicle and then retrieved later, if this type of tracker is being used, it cannot pick it up. Likewise, if the listening device being used is actually hardwired in with wires and either records to a storage device or sends signal through cable not transmission of a signal, then it will not find it either.A different type of device is needed all together to find those types of devices.

When my cat was microchiped (I'm in Australia) I received a number from the vet, also if you take your cat to the vet they will probably be able to scan and tell you the number, apart from that you don't need to know the number for this device you just put the cat's head thru with the 'read' settings on. I have had mine for about 6 months or so and it is a complete success haven't changed batteries and no problems. It does make a sort of loud click sound which might at first put you cat off, but in no time they get used to it.

he may not be going in because another cat may be around or claimed it for its own territory. It seems to be happening here with mine.

I only have one base unit and two tags. how many cats do you have? how many remote tracking units?

Yes, just put it anywhere in your car. When we first got it we hid it all over to see if we could find it before we put it on our cats and didn't matter where we hid it it worked.

My experience, you could shake hands with that person before the Loc8tor could find them. Range was very limited when I tried to use it on our cat. New batteries did not help. I saw no alarm feature on it. You had to start to search to make a connection.
