1. The tracker checks available signals
PawMap combines GPS, BDS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LBS and assisted GPS. Different signals can be more useful indoors, in built-up areas or in open spaces.

How PawMap GPS pet tracking works.
The tracker works out where your pet is, the built-in eSIM sends that location to the PawMap app, and you get a map, alerts and finder tools when you need them.

Why PawMap matters
From collar signal to a clearer next move.
2. The eSIM sends location to the app
The built-in eSIM uses mobile connectivity to send tracker data to your phone beyond nearby Bluetooth range. Coverage remains important.
3. Safe zones watch familiar boundaries
Set a virtual boundary around home or another regular place. PawMap can alert you when the tracker crosses it.
4. Live Finder follows a moving search
When you are actively looking, Live Finder can refresh location as often as every five seconds so the map follows a changing route more closely.
5. Nearby tools help close the final gap
When your pet is close but hidden, Bluetooth support, a multicolour LED and an audible finder can help with gardens, hedges, sheds and dark spaces.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions.
01Does PawMap use GPS only?+
No. PawMap combines GPS, BDS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LBS and assisted GPS. The best available signal can change as a pet moves between environments.
02Why is an eSIM needed for pet tracking?+
GPS calculates location, while mobile connectivity is needed to send that location to the app when the tracker is beyond nearby Bluetooth range.
03What is Live Finder?+
Live Finder is PawMap's active-search mode. It can refresh location as often as every five seconds, subject to coverage, surroundings and settings.
04Does GPS pet tracking work indoors?+
Satellite GPS is usually strongest outdoors. Buildings can weaken it, so PawMap also uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LBS and assisted GPS to provide additional location support where available.
05Will location accuracy be the same everywhere?+
No. Coverage, buildings, terrain, tree cover, weather, available signals and tracker settings can affect accuracy and update speed.
06What happens if there is no mobile coverage?+
The tracker may be unable to send a fresh location to the app until a suitable connection becomes available. No mobile-connected GPS tracker can guarantee uninterrupted updates everywhere.
