-The accuracy of each update is heavily reliant on the strength of the GPS signal. Inaccuracies are more likely to occur in scenarios involving minimal movement or confined spaces, particularly indoors or under cover. Although they are infrequent, these inaccuracies can differ by 500m or more. Therefore, it is advisable to verify the GPS signal strength to ensure the accuracy of each update, especially when uncertain.
-Geo-fencing false alarms may occur if your pet enters neighboring properties due to potential limitations in GPS signal indoors or when the tracker is obstructed by the pet or surrounding objects. It is important to note that this is not a flaw, but rather a characteristic of this particular situation. However, the new Wifi Homezone mode has been designed to mitigate this issue by accurately detecting if your pet is within its own home or nearby using your wifi network.
