Phone Mapping Info

Your Retrieva dog collar has been specially designed to communicate with your mobile phone. There are 3 ways in which you can see the location of your dog:

1. ViewRanger. If you have a phone that uses the Symbian S60 operating system, such as many Nokia's, you can download the ViewRanger phone mapping application which is part of the Retrieva package in the UK. This product allows you to see the location of your dog plotted on topographical mapping, and enables you to track your dog in an incredible interactive way. This software enables you to see the location and direction of travel of both you and your dog, your dog's speed, how far away your dog is, and the direction you need to walk to locate your dog. Visit www.viewranger.com/phonesupport.php for a full list of phones that are supported by ViewRanger.

2. Google maps for smart phones. If you have a web-enabled phone that does not use Symbian S60 operating software, such as the iPhone and Blackberry, you can request the dog's location be sent to your mobile phone as a Google map link. Simply click on the link and your phone will download a map with the location of your dog. It is also possible to see your location relative to that of your dog. The mapping will either be satellite based or standard Google mapping depending on your type of phone.

3. Text message with decimal latitude and longitude. If you do not have a phone with internet access then you can still request a location by text message. The data can then be input into ny mapping solution, including Google maps and other navigation systems. This information also includes speed and direction.
