Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Don't worry anymore about letting your dog off its leash. Wrap the comfortable, lightweight, durable, waterproof GPS Receiver Collar around your dog's neck, and you'll always know where it is within a 1-mile radius. The included tracking unit locates and displays your dog's exact location, current movements, and velocity on a 3.5-inch color LCD screen with real-time updates. Just snap the collar around your dog's neck, and turn it on. No programming is necessary. The state-of-the-art handheld unit can track up to 3 dogs simultaneously, though a collar is required for each dog.
Create a customized GPS Fence for each dog by walking the perimeter of your desired "fence" and committing the coordinates to the tracker's memory. If your dog exits the defined perimeter, an audible alarm will sound to alert you. Delete and create as many new GPS Fences as often as you like. Create one for your yard, a new one for the dog park, and maybe another one for a campsite or hiking area.
The RoamEO Pet Location System includes rechargeable batteries for both the collar and tracking unit, as well as AC adapters to charge them. On full 2-hour charges, the collar runs up to 12 hours, and the tracking unit 10 hours. The transmitter unit measures 4.25 by 5.5 by 1.25 inches and weighs only 8.7 ounces. The System is easy to use, and no installation or third-party services are necessary. It's covered by RoamEO's 1-year warranty.
Product Description
Now, with RoamEO, your dog's freedom and your control are one and the same. Advanced GPS technology tracks pooches within a one-mile radius. So even when your best friend roams, romps, and explores out of sight, you're In total control.

Great idea, not ready for prime time,
By Just Looking (NH, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RoamEO GPS Pet Location System, Large Collar (Misc.)
I purchased this unit with two collars for two Labs that roam in a mixture of fields and woods. I have what I think is the newest design as of Dec 2008.
Initially the collars worked great and I even used the "fence function". After about a week the collars began to not always lock onto the satellite signal even when left stationary in the middle of a field for hours. Next the hand held unit began to fail. I began to spend more time trying to get the system to work then it was worth. The Manufacture replaced everything for me with new collars and a new handheld unit. The replacement units worked well at first but as time goes on I'm spending more and more time trying to get the collars to lock in on the GPS signal. Many times my dogs will be outside for over an hour and never get a GPS fix even in the middle of a field on a sunny day. The collars seem to always be able to communicate with the handheld unit. As for the design, it is a great idea. It just needs some improvement. The battery in the collar is not very convenient to charge. It requires removing the battery from the collar instead of having a plug-in port on the collar. The clasp on the dog collar is not very sturdy and has already worn out on one of my collars. Because the GPS on the collar is only on when the collar is clasped together, if the collar should become unclasped and fall off the dog, there is no way to find the collar using the GPS because the unit is now off. What would I like to see improved? 1. Collar should have a waterproof rating. 2. An on/off switch on the collar. 3. A battery charging port on the collar. 4. Better satellite acquisition for the collar. 5. More powerful transmitter on the collar. 6. Some type of quick clasp on the collar like regular dog collars. 7. Louder "Fence alarm" (the current unit's alarm is so quite, it can only be heard if you are in the same room). 8. It would be nice to be able to load topo maps on the Handheld unit. Garmin makes a system but it is a much larger unit on the collar so it is designed more for hunters. Based on the unreliability of the Roameo system, I am considering returning the unit and waiting for the product to be improved.

False advertising,

This review is from: RoamEO GPS Pet Location System, Large Collar (Misc.)
This collar is not what the description says it is. I live out in the country, where my line of sight is at least 10 miles, but i have yet to be able to pick up my dog collar farther than 1000 ft. That is about 1/5th of the advertised possible distance. There are no buildings no houses no trees, there is nothing out here to obstruct the signal, but it does not have any range. As for the battery life, it seems to last about 8 hours on the collar and 6 hours on the receiver. When i put it on my lab at 7am and take him to work with me the battery is dead before i get home at night. For the amount of money that i spent on this product, i still spend a couple of hours a day trying to find my dog. I was doing the same thing before i bought this product.

Lots of problems,

This review is from: RoamEO GPS Pet Location System, Large Collar (Misc.)
I had one of the first units and had to return the collars and hand unit numerous times. First problem was with the collar on/off switch. They failed all the time. Next was the antenna. If you have more than one dogs and they bite the antenna/collar while playing, the collar may or may not work. I had one antenna completely chewed off and it worked fine, I had another that had a tooth dent in it, and it didn't work. Personally, I really think that collar had another problem, but the manufacturer didn't want to admit it. I've had some collars that just lose lock or only transmit a short distance.
Overall it's really a great idea. The manufacturer usually works with you, but it gets to the point that it's not worth it anymore. I got a full refund. They have a new generation of collars coming out, but I hear they have problems too. I think I'll wait until they've been out a few years and they have worked out the manufacturing and design problems.
