The Zoombak locator is now available for purchase online at zoombak.com, and at major national retailers in early 2008.

The Zoombak locator is one of the first Assisted-GPS (“A-GPS”) devices designed specifically for use by everyday consumers and will be sold nationwide at leading electronics and specialty pet retailers. Priced from $199 - $249, for pet and auto applications, respectively, Zoombak is smaller than a deck of cards and weighs less than three ounces, yet when activated can help find dogs and vehicles coast-to-coast, 24 hours a day and can promptly notify users about location by text message and email alerts.

“Zoombak’s mission is to develop advanced products and services that seamlessly integrate with a consumer’s lifestyle, enabling users to stay better connected to their families and loved ones. With the Zoombak locator, we are putting safety on the map and revolutionizing the way people locate and recover what they care about most,” said Simon Buckingham, CEO at Zoombak.

RoamEO GPS system tracks your pet http://goandtrack.com/blog/gps-pet-tracking/wheres-fido-roameo-gps-system-tracks-your-pet/ http://goandtrack.com/blog/gps-pet-tracking/wheres-fido-roameo-gps-system-tracks-your-pet/#comments Fri, 08 Sep 2006 17:37:33 +0000 GPS Tracking Guy http://goandtrack.com/blog/2006/09/08/wheres-fido-roameo-gps-system-tracks-your-pet/ Apparently, keeping your pet indoors or ponying up for a fenced in a yard just isn’t in style anymore, as the RoamEO GPS tracking system for pets joins the crowd of other locating devices, texting adornments, and inflatable collars that folks seem to prefer over the more traditional methods. This particular setup is geared to work on all roaming pets, but certainly has its

limitations. While the GPS-enabled collar sends the exact location, movements, and velocity to your handheld tracking unit, your pet still turns MIA if it wanders more than a mile away. If you’re fairly certain Fido isn’t apt to stray all that far, you can setup a GPS fence that will send audible alerts if that perimeter is breached. This seems to be a decent system for multi-pet owners who have a tough time keeping things on a leash, as you can maintain a keen eye on three creatures simultaneously — but it’ll cost you $459 for the first one, and $149 for each additional collar.
