GPS tracker Mala for dogs
Overview of modes in the ANIMAL profile and their correct usage. Set your GPS tracker Mala exactly according to the situation and make full use of its capabilities.
How GPS tracker Mala works
Position detection:
The device determines its current coordinates using GPS. It achieves the highest accuracy outdoors with a direct view of the sky. Indoors or in dense urban areas, accuracy deviations may occur.
Data storage and transmission:
In modes with active tracking, the position is recorded, for example, every 10 seconds. These positions are then sent to the app every minute.
Sleep mode:
If the device is not moving, it switches to power-saving mode to conserve battery. It automatically reactivates when movement is detected.
