DIY Low budget GPS animal tracking
Have you ever wondered how far out your pet roams during the day and at
night?
Thanks to a cat named Mr Lee it is
now possible to track your animal on a plug and play level.
The low end gizmo records up
to 30 hours of prowling and needs to be downloaded via USB cable. 44
dollars.
The high end version transmits live data through GMS cel phone
technology.
125 dollars.
Both interface with Google
maps and claim to be easy to use.
I could see this being handy
for goats and sheep or just about any level of livestock bigger than a
chicken.
It would be interesting to
see where Lucy spends her time, but I predict Huckleberry's map would
only consist of him going from the couch to the chair to his basket
with multiple trips to his food dish.
