I was looking at GPS localisers for walking dogs in the forest, but it’s 10-200$ + ~$7 a month.

So I’m wondering whether a timer that inflates a big red balloon after 4hrs wouldn’t be the best choice.



I've been using a GPS collar for a my escape artist dog for a few years. Do you have a link to your big red balloon Kickstarter page?


Not sure if it can help but check getfindster.com.

It works without cellular. It has two modules, gps on a dog which emits some data RF signal and a receiver in your pocket. They claim 3km range. I can confirm 1.5km. Didn’t test further. Quite magical actually


...to safely fly the dog back home.


why don't you use a drone?
