He or she will then be tracked for the remainder of their journey continually relaying data back to your device or the Internet. These units can take the form of hand held equipment, a mobile phone or a watch. There are even tiny pet tracking receivers available on the market for use on a dog collar. ( RoamEO for Pets)
