"A 15-foot GPS drift near a busy road isn't a software bug. It's a safety crisis."
— The Pampered Pup Testing Team

Why GPS Accuracy Is a Safety Issue

Most GPS fences test in open fields. We test in real backyards with trees, slopes, metal sheds, and weather. Some drifted 30+ feet. When your boundary borders a road, that drift is the difference between safe and dangerous.
