Live tracking is built into the places where search dog teams need it: training, organization and mission module. Team members can share locations, dog trackers can be connected and mission leaders can keep active teams in view.
Share location live
During a search, the location can be shared with selected organization members. Location sharing belongs to the current search and ends when you finish it.
Dog trackers, smartphone and GPX
Search dog work often uses several GPS sources: smartphone, dog tracker, GPX files and sometimes external track data. In RescueDogs you can view those tracks together with the relevant search. Supported scenarios include GPX import and integrations such as Tractive, Weenect or PawFit where available.
Coordinates
Current coordinates can be copied and shared.
What3Words
3-word addresses make positions easier to communicate.
Tracks
Recordings remain useful for debrief and review.
Map
Search areas, markers and tracks appear on the same map.
Live locations with control
Location sharing is meant to help, not unsettle. Use it during a search or mission alongside your agreed command procedures.
Live tracking in the mission module
Live tracks, search areas, markers, GPX data and responses come together in a shared mission map.
See which position you are following
If a dog tracker is selected for recording, a new live share uses that tracker for the dog track. The phone track remains separate. A waiting tracker or an older fix is labelled clearly; the phone is never presented as the waiting dog. This applies to mantrailing and the dog search disciplines. Live transmission needs a connection; local recording remains independent. Drone search currently shares the pilot’s phone position, not direct drone telemetry.
