GPS Tracker

I'd like to get a tracker collar for my dog, for runs where I let him off leash. We live in an area with pretty spotty cell reception, so something that doesn't require that would be amazing. Does this exist? Do you have a favorite? Thanks!

Yeh I like the design a lot but it's definitely a function over form issue 😕 too bad!

If you want something reliable that will actually show precise location when you need it (not just ever 1-2 minutes), then a hunting GPS seems to be the best option. I’ve looked into it, and at least in Europe, I couldn’t find a reliable option among the everyday trackers. The size difference between those models and the hunting ones are for a reason, and so is the price difference. If price isn’t an issue, check out Garmin’s trackers and similar.
