GPS Collars (Cat)
Discussion
Morning all.
I've been looking at the offerings on the market but they still seem very large and bulky. I'd love to see what my cats get up to when they're out and about but not at the cost of having a heavy collar around their necks.
Are we still a long time away from small GPS enabled collars? The GPS sensors themselves are tiny, i've dismantled a few GPS cameras etc but it's the batteries and holders for sim cards etc. that i guess take up the most time. The limitation in the main seems to be as always the battery. Anything small enough isn't likely to provide the power needed or the battery life that would be of any use.
Even taking away live tracking and "putting up with" plugging them in when the cat returns still leaves the battery issue.
Anyone use anything for their pets?
