Cat 6 mini - false tracking data (???)

The new cat 6 mini has atrocious GPS. When it doesnt get GPS connection (which is most of the time tbh) - live tracking will just keep stationary at the last sent location without actually updating the GPS. So considering that, your tracker might as well be 10 minutes of cat walking away from your p

Pre-ordered CAT 6 Mini: July 1st Shipping day is here! Public accountability thread.

We've had the cat 6 mini for a couple of weeks now and top be honest you're better of with the old one anyways. The new one fits better - yes. But it's GPS seems so atrocious that it just doesn't automatically update the location half the time for and hour or more and the Live tracking does not work

Should I replace my cat mini with the cat 6 mini?

I’ve been using Tractive trackers for years and, honestly, my experience with the CAT Mini 6 has been disappointing enough that I’ll be switching back to my older trackers.The first issue was the collar sizing. Tractive advertises the CAT Mini 6 as being suitable for larger cats, but the supplied co

Should I replace my cat mini with the cat 6 mini?

After their AI ---and then a human--- told me, flat out " no more mini's. We now provide Mini 6's only as replacements under tractive care" They sent me a mini. Yeah. " there are no more, you say?"..... So i got this one --and the next day, the neighbor found & returned our lost one. It was in his b

Is the Cat 6 mini worth the money?

Don’t bother with the cat 6 mini, go for the older version. I ‘upgraded’ to the new model and had nothing but issues with it, won’t fully charge to 100%, won’t pick up gps very well even on a clear day, battery lasts me 2 days max, when I first got it it only lasted 24 hours, Tractive refused to rep

New Tractive Cat 6 Mini: Constant GPS signal loss and LIVE tracking failures

Samma här, precisionen är urdålig på Tractive Cat 6 mini, min katt "hoppade" omkring, 1 meter däråt, 4 meter åt andra hållet, 12 meter åt ett annat håll. När hon hela tiden satt 4 meter ifrån mig, helt stilla. Låset är inte bra, ställer man in ett högre värde blir det plötsligt det minsta, låsets lö

GPS collar

Having a lot of issues with GPS on the Tractive Cat 6 Mini, everyone in the community says the older model is better, I didn’t realise how new it was when I bought it, so just a warning on that. When it works it is great!

Totally regret this purchase - my STRONG recommendation is to avoid at all costs.

I also used the cat mini for 4 years for both my cats but one has lost his tracker a few months ago so I got the new cat 6 mini as replacement. And the cat 6 mini is so much worse in tracking and gps functionality in comparison to the older tracker that I kind of see where OP is coming from. Tractiv
