Do I Have to pay for a GPS subscription in order to track?

No, the collar communicates directly to the handheld so no subscription is required. The range is said to be 5 miles and while my dog can run, we've never exceeded that range yet. I love this device and my only complaint is the size of the collar. My dog weighs about 40 pounds and it is just manageable. If he were much smaller or would be a dealbreaker.

no, but there isn't a map on the receiver. it's fine for us (i use it when herding over a HUGE pasture)

No. This system actually works quite well. I have a dog that is very adventurous and we live in a heavily forested area with lots of room to run. When He would run out for his jaunts in the past we would worry that he would have trouble finding his way home, but with this collar, we know where he went and where he is. It has been a very good investment and eases the tense times when day is coming to an end or a storm is moving in, you know how to find him. The collar is great for training and has made a tremendous difference in the relationship between our family and the dog (who is now a very big part of the family). The price is heavy, but worth the purchase. No. This system actually works quite well. I have a dog that is very adventurous and we live in a heavily forested area with lots of room to run.

no you do not. Please be aware of the fact that despite being generally very pleased with the device, the screen is very difficult to read outdoor in sunny condition or while wearing polarized glasses. Not a huge negative but...

You can track the Garmin by going to the Garmin website and pressing locate my device. If it is on your husband, it will indicate the location. No need for the Iphone also.

Yes. You can go to the Garmin site and download for approx. $69, or have a lifetime membership for $100, which seems the best way to go.

As far as I can tell, the maps are current. You get regular updates after you register your GPS (just log in with it connected to your computer).

I have no idea how they determine your location though it probably gps . Inany case, you cannot track someone else using one, only the company can track the user. Hope that helps

Yes! But you have to buy the camera separately, is a good radio works fine on my geo tracker

Absolutely. In fact, that is pretty much what you are paying for. You can enter coordinates in any of several different formats, and the device will lead you in a straight line to that location. But be advised, you will have to pay extra to download that pretty map they show in the picture.

I believe you have to have a total connect account. I have it through GeoArm and pay 12 dollars a month

My watch came with a heart rate monitor (maybe as a bundle package) so I didn't have to pay for that but I do not have the foot pod but I also don't care about the data that the foot pod gives. The heart rate data was important for me to want know. If you are just wanting to track distance data (with the GPS), then you do not need the heart rate monitor either.

Yes that is exactly when it works, away from all connections. as long as you are outside and let it find sattelites, you will be able to use your map Programs. you may have to go to settings as it has to accept the Map program, then it will track onto your map on your tablet or phone, i personally use "Navigon Maps", and a Canadian topo map as well, good Luck, rick.m

We decided to get the one withOUT GPS and haven't missed it one time. I guess unless you're really hardcore its not needed. I would say get a GPS for tracking and a camera for pictures but don't mix the two.

Not necessarily. It does keep a text log of your GPS locations that is updated at intervals.

The iphone app is only one way to keep track, it is quick and easy as a portable means. You can also go online to Garmin and see the location of the tracker from any internet access.

Map updates are rarely needed for the lifetime of the GPS... I would NEVER EVER pay a monthly fee... Ripp-off
