Is the cat 6 mini GPS suppose to be like this?
Yeah if it has poor GPS signal it eats through battery and gives spurious location. And never trust the blue shaded "accuracy" circle, I don't think tractive engineers understand what it's meant to represent

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

Totally regret this purchase - my STRONG recommendation is to avoid at all costs.
Use mine for two cats, definitely not perfect, and I’m always looking for alternatives. For my sake: the tracking is not accurate enough. It must be possible to code this device in a way to weed out the most crazy gps errors, but I still get my cat crossing the road all the time, triggering the virt

Share your first impressions of the new Tractive Cat 6 Mini & Dog 6 XL
I had so many hopes for this collar! I have had a previous version, and it worked good, but a bit bulky. I finally received the new one AND it won’t see my NETWORK to even connect. I work in tech sector and TRIED everything (switching WiFi frequency, turning legacy mode on/off….nothings worked!!!).

Cat 6 mini
Good luck, mine wouldn’t hold a charge over 24 hours, Tractive wouldn’t replace it saying it’s a known issue, gps is rubbish on it compared to the old model too, hopefully you got a better one than I did

Cat 6 Mini
I’ve been Tractive user for years, and this has always been a problem. Even when outside with a clear sky, the GPS has a lot of quirks. It will say my cat has crossed a road 50 meters away. I try to give my safezones a generous buffer, but I get tons of these notifications every day :/.

CAT mini 6 - Yikes
Yeah. Mine lost it but the homeowner was nice enough to allow me to look in their backyard. I brought it home, charged it up, changed the weight setting to one higher and nothing five freaking hours of putting it back on him, it was off and the tracker said “No GPS”. Unfortunately these neighbors di

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
