The RoamEO GPS Dog Location System is designed for dog owners to quickly and accurately locate their dogs by using state-of-the art GPS technology. RoamEO displays the concise, easy to read information on a color LCD screen that allows you to locate your dog and shows you his current movements. Each RoamEO GPS Dog Location System consists of a portable, handheld receiver that displays information received from the GPS-enabled collar on your dog. The handheld receiver uses a color LCD to show the location, direction and velocity of your dog. RoamEO is designed to update readings every few seconds, giving you a continuous stream of real-time information. The RoamEO GPS Dog Location System uses an ordinary collar that is equipped with GPS technology. Just snap the collar on your dog, turn it on, and RoamEO is operational. The RoamEO handheld unit can track up to three dogs simultaneously. A collar is required for each dog. RoamEO has also been designed so that you can set up a GPS Dog Fence. RoamEO uses GPS coordinates that you establish by walking the perimeter of your desired fence, and commits them to memory. If your dog exits this perimeter, an audible alarm will sound. For example, you may wish to establish your property line as the perimeter for your dog. After setting up your fence, this information would be stored in your system and if your dog wanders off your property, the alarm will sound. Because this boundary is electronic, you can erase and create new ones as often as you like, giving you the flexibility for any situation or condition. RoamEO uses rechargeable batteries in both the handheld unit and the collar, so there is no need to purchase batteries for your system. The AC adapter is provided as are a total of THREE collars.  Please estimate your dog's weight in a separate email to us so we can send the right size collar.  Thank you!  In Stock and ready to ship!  RoamEO VS The Competition Features and Costs RoamEOÔ ZoombakÔ PetSafeÔ GPS Locator Global Pet FinderÔ           Uses GPS Satellites Yes Completely GPS enabled Yes…but needs cell phone service to work Yes…but needs cell phone service to work Yes…but needs cell phone service to work   Shows Pets Location on a map Shows Pets exact location in real time on handheld go anywhere screen.   Go directly to where your pet is…not where it was 3 minutes ago Details limited at this time, but seems to be very much the same as the PetSafeÔ and Global Pet FinderÔ Units  Yes to your home computer or you may call their service center and have someone navigate you through your town until you find the pet.
