Battery life and memory capacity

4MB Flash Memory
The number of locations that can be collected is dependent on battery capacity which in itself is dependent on the tracking schedule selected, the configuration of the satellites and their visibility to the collar. In the best case scenario, the GPS receiver determines a location within 4 seconds although the average time taken to obtain a location is 60s. Average values are presented.
