The RoamEO GPS PuPpod Pet Tracking Unit is the newest and possibly most exciting addition to the RoamEO product line! The PuPpod unit is aimed at the budget minded consumer. Like the RoamEO Classic it will track your pet using GPS technology, but by sacrificing a few bells and whistles it will do it for about $100.00 less. But this is not the most exciting change! Read on!
The PuPpod unit differs from the classic in the following ways:
The handheld is smaller and more streamlined. It will now fit comfortably in anyone's hands and is not so bulky.
It is a pointing unit. What this means is that instead of showing the dogs moving around in real time it points to a quadrant - Front, back, left, right, front/left, front/right, rear/left, and rear/right. Showing you the direction you need to walk in order to meet up with your pet.
It also shows the distance that you are away from the pet, so you know how far you need to travel.
Unlike the RoamEO Classic, the PuPpod will only track two pets at a time
The Screen is also in a high contrast black and white format, and very readable in sunlight.
Here is where it gets REALLY exciting! Why? Because this affects both the RoamEO Classic and the NEW PuPpod. Several improvements have been made to the collars:
First, the battery life is now 24 hours per charge instead of 6-8
There will now be two improved ranges available. We will have a 1.5 mile collar and a 5 mile collar. The 5 mile collar will ONLY be available to e-tailers and small chain stores. It will not be sold in Wal-Mart or Target or any large retailer.
There is no longer a box on the collar. Everything is integrated directly into the collar itself, so the big bulky looking boxes are gone.
The batteries are now a removable, proprietary battery that you can easily pop in and pop out and put on our new charging unit. Additional batteries are available that can be kept fresh on a charger at all times.
No more on or off switch! When you clip the collar on the pets neck, it turns on....when you take it off...it turns off, it is that simple.
The collars will come in size Small/Medium 12.5" to 19" and size Large/Xlarge 20" to 28"
These collars are compatible with both the New PuPpod and the RoamEO classic!
