E-Track-Pro Hunting Dog Collar

GPS Collars AS and EasyHunt AB of Sweden.

In 2019, EasyHunt AB contracted GPS Collars to design from scratch a hunting dog collar. Over the next 12 months, the collar was designed and built and 300 units were delivered in August 2020. It was essential that the collars would provide 5 second by 5 second tracking across all habitats and with BARK! detection for 48 hours - essentially a hunting week of 6 days with 8 hours hunting in each day. The hunter had to be able to call the dog and listen to what was happening.  The product was IP68 rated and could be immersed in water to 1m for 30 mintues. Operating temperature -20 to +40 degrees Celcius.

The original order was for 300 units, but with an indicative number of 500-1000 units per year. 8000 hunters were using the EasyHunt APP and this was a realistic annual sales target.

However, in 2022, Garmin Inc of the USA purchased EasyHunt AB and Garmin stopped marketing and seling the E-Track Pro, instead promoting their own in-house built products. This was extremely disapointing. There was no other comparable product on the market.

The features and specification of E-Track Pro are outined below.

If you requrie a designed product, the team at GPS Collars would be delighted to hear from you.
