Trax advertises "Receive real-time entry/exit notifications". Just how long does it take before I get notified that my dog has crossed the geo-fence?

There is approx. 30 secs delay before satellite gets the signal and retransmits down to earth. On cloudy day it could be a bit longer due to interference due to weather.

I am not sure. ...my dog is trained and she comes back at the audible alarm...we actually had a different one when we trained her and that one shocked for 15 seconds. ..If they stray and get shocked (during training) call them back...it should not take long for them to understand

Maybe you need only to wait until it finds your location? Or maybe it is having trouble getting a signal? I haven't used the GPS myself. I tried a few online searches to find instructions, but really didn't find anything useful. Ground EFX does have its own website though, where you can speak to a representative or ask questions. (Groundefx.com) I hope you find your answers soon so that there would be no problems making an exchange if it is defective. Good luck. I will be back to give a better answer if I can find one.

Just as frustrated as you, recently I almost had an accident driving at night, it kept telling me I have half a mile to go, and suddenly the right was 2 seconds away.I had to cross 3 lanes of traffic like the movies otherwise we would have added 30 minutes and missed our flight.Not too happy right now. the sound just follows the software so is also not reliable.

I have sent TRC a request for the warranty and support information. I didn't get anything in the mailing package. Thanks for the request. It exposed me that I didn't have any info. When/If they respond I'll post it. It's a great tool for safety, security and a piece of mind. Sorry that's all I can do for know.

Mike, I agree what Garmin said made no sense, but it is working today. So who knows what really happened. Where did you get those other updates for the traffic receiver?

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

I do NOT believe there is. I am using their "Content Manager" to keep my content GPS updated and it's as slow as the first day I got it. Many times I've already passed a road and/or executed a turn by a couple of seconds before my position is actually recognized (and I am talking about suburbs with no building obstructions.) If you are reading this before purchase, do yourself a favor and consider something else.

As you may know, there is a new model nearly ready for release, so this may change at that time, but for now as long as your dog is away from the base station (beyond the "close to base" area) you can simply restart the tracking command from your cellphone and it will work for another 15 minutes or until your dog (or at least the collar) re-enters the safe zone

You must connect the GPS unit to you PC & download the latest update & maps before using the unit. Otherwise, you will get annoying pop-up "Tom Tom commercials" Also register your unit.

The tracker refreshes at intervals...I think every 3 minutes. So, not 'real time' but pretty close.

I just bought this and LOVE it. It tells you the time you should arrive at your destination. So as long as you know the current time (from your watch, a car radio, etc.) you will know how many more minutes "until we get there".

The "T" stands for traffic. You get life time traffic reports with the "T" version. The downside is that ads pop up on the screen during the traffic alerts. One reviewer mentioned that sometimes there are no alerts in "dead zones", and that unnecessary re-routing resulting from erroneous alerts can add more time to the drive.Hope this helps.

It will, the traffic is like most gps systems and has a little lag time, it also does need to be activated for a one time $50 fee.

It will only send an alert if a geo fence is set for where the car is parked. It will send an alert when it enters and leaves this zone.

Unfortunately, no. It only counts up. Maybe get 2 in different colors - one to count entries and the other for exits.

It will alert on a tree or point but not a boundary line. It is a great collar system but it is limited in alot of areas. I have 7 collars and i recommend it for anyone with dogs but no what you need. I have rabbit dogs. Perfect for me. The 2.0 version might alert at a boundary.
