i’m thinking of getting a dog tracker but i don’t know if it’s a good idea

I think it would be helpful to research reasonable expectations for a GPS tracker. For example, with Tractive (and many others), your home wifi may be set up as a power-saving zone.

Has anyone had any experience using Tractive? What are the pros and cons in your opinion?

Yes! I bought it almost immediately after my post above and have been using it everyday. I got the cat mini. I've had no problems so far. It has connection 99.9% of the time. Only during really bad weather like a storm did I find some issues. I charge when it's around 50% so I don't worry about losi

Cat 6 Mini - Feedback / QOL Upgrades

the tracker already may be smarter than you think? the tracker seems to use the sensors to determine the movement/activity of your cat and adapts the gps update frequency accordingly: https://help.tractive.com/hc/en-us/articles/205663461-How-often-does-the-Tractive-GPS-tracker-detect-a-new-position
