One of the most annoying things about taking the dog for a walk in the countryside is when they run off and get lost in the woods. How do you find them with minimal pain? Well the Retrieva GPS Tracking System claims to be the most advanced in the world for this task, using a tamper-proof and waterproof satellite and GSM tracker collar and cellphone friendly mapping software to trace the critter through the densest off-road countryside.
You can also track your wandering pooch via SMS messages or live on the Internet, which is kind of like a reverse stalking programme, in this universe you hunt the dog. £200.00 for the kit, plus a £10 a month charge for the network data service.
Battery Life: Maximum battery life between recharge – 1 month Recommended time between recharge – 1 week Design: Ergonomically designed to the shape of the dog’s neck. Curved for a snug fit, great weight distribution and optimum antenna placement. Waterproof & dustproof to IP67 standard Technology: Quad band GSM, Sirf III GPS chipset and 433Mhz Mapping Facility: Viewranger maps for phones, Google maps for phones, web based mapping
