Dog Tracking Compass

To open the dog tracking compass, select .
You can use the dog tracking compass to view the direction and distance to your dog, your vehicle, and any
paired devices. The dog tracking compass also shows the dog's status, such as running or on point (Dog Status
Icons, page 12). The color of the pointer corresponds to the color of the track.
The dog tracking compass is most accurate when the dog, vehicle, or paired device is more than 9.1 m (30 ft.)
away. When the dog, vehicle, or paired device is less than 9.1 m (30 ft.) away, "Near" appears.
TIP: You can open an alternative view of the compass by selecting > Pro View.

Changing the Length of the Dog's Track

You can adjust the length of time the dog track appears on the map. Reducing the duration of the track can
reduce the clutter on the map. Changing the map does not affect the tracks stored in the handheld device.
1 Select > Map > Tracked Devices > Dog Tracks on Map.
2 Select a time frame.

Location Alerts

Location alerts notify you when your dogs enter or exit a particular location. You can create a custom geofence
or use a radius around your current location.
A geofence is an invisible boundary around an area and is created using points on the map. The virtual
boundaries of a geofence are accurate up to approximately 3 m (10 ft.). Geofences perform best when sized to
cover an area encompassing an average sized backyard (approximately ¼ acre).
