4. Live Tracking

With this function, you receive a location update for your pet every 10 seconds. Ideal when you are actively tracking or searching for your pet.

5. Location History

View all previously registered locations of your pet. This way you can see exactly where your dog or cat has been.

6. Status Bar

Here you can see:

  • The date and time of the last update
  • The battery percentage
  • Whether the tracker is active or in sleep mode

Sleep Mode

Are the date and time in red? This means the tracker is indoors or is not yet active and cannot connect to the satellites. The tracker is then in sleep mode.

As soon as your pet moves outdoors, the status changes to white. The PawFindGPS is then active and sends location updates.

1. Virtual Fence

With the Virtual Fence, you set a virtual area where your pet can safely stay. As soon as your pet leaves this area, you will immediately receive a notification on your phone.

Important:
This feature works most reliably in an area with a minimum diameter of 100 meters.
In smaller zones, inaccuracies or false alerts may occur due to GPS signal differences or reduced reception.
Our advice: Set the virtual fence to a minimum of 100 meters for optimal performance.

2. Tracking Frequency

Here you set how often the tracker sends a location update.

Our recommendation:
30-120 seconds for an optimal balance between accurate tracking and battery consumption.

You can also set how often the tracker provides updates when the PawFindGPS is in the safe zone (your WiFi zone).

Our recommendation:
10,800 seconds (3 hours) within the safe zone to save battery.

3. Features in Development

These features are currently still under development. At this time, they do not affect the use of your PawFindGPS tracker.

4. Remote Off

This feature allows you to completely turn off the PawFindGPS tracker remotely.

⚠️ Please note: We advise against using this feature unless the PawFind team has asked you to do so.

Have you accidentally activated this feature? You can only reactivate the tracker by placing it in the charger. Then remove the tracker from the charger, go outside, and press and hold the button on the tracker until the light starts flashing. The tracker will then reconnect and become active again in the app.

5. Add Device

This option allows you to add a second PawFindGPS tracker to your account. Ideal if you have multiple pets.
