Researching the subject of my final project - using GPS to find lost pets - I came across this site: http://globalpetfinder.com/
This company sells GPS devices you can attach to your dogs' collar, warning you when they've gone beyond the pre-defined "safe" zone. The owner is alerted by text and email, telling them where the dog is.
It seems to be a good product, effective and easily useable. The devices are suitable for bigger dogs, but what about smaller dogs, and cats? And what happens if the collar comes off, or the animal is lost for hours or days and the batteries run out? What happens if the animal is stolen and taken out of range of the GPS? These are things I need to consider for the product I'd like to design for my final project.
