Hi Jen, Well it's been pretty frustrating tryin to hold everyone off from buyin a garmin- were up to 8 or 9 in my group now with about 12 collars. Still waitin myself, but a big roadblock to buying a Tracker GPS will be the fact that no one I hunt will will be able to track it. I think using your cell phone when cell coverage is spotty (at least while your introducing the product and for the near future anyway) is a bad idea. As you stated they have much better coverage in Europe where the GPS unit tracker makes has been out for a while. What we need is a collar like the Intello with an antenna on one side for the GPS signal and another on the other side for the radio frequency signal run by a GPS unit, not your phone. The collar is then worn in normal under the neck fashion and is as dependable and reliable as the telemetry collars. No one worries about where they'll get a cell signal as well.
Tracker may be bringing the prettiest and smartest girl in the class to the ball, but they missed the first several dances. Some folks will switch dance partners when she arrives and others have already married thiers. Me thinks tracker is looking at other applications for the GPS units like anti theft, fleet tracking, etc and then hounds. Too bad the engineers at Tracker can't be the ones on the "front lines" to answer the public. huh.
