How selected tracking interval affects on GPS device's power consumption?

Tracker G400FI, G500FI, G5002013, G1000 and Supra
Tracking intervals from 3 seconds to 1 minute 59 seconds

- The GPS device has its power mode at "Full Power" and the device is constantly updating its position
- Position is sent with the selected tracking interval
- Has the highest power consumption
- When the dog starts or stops barking, a fresh position update is first calculated, processed and then sent immediately with the barking information


Tracking intervals from 2 minutes to 29 minutes

- The GPS device can use power saving mode if needed
- The device gives position updates at the selected tracking frequency and transmits its position
- Dog barking does not affect position update frequency. The bark trail displayed on map, works with the accuracy of the set tracking frequency


Tracking intervals of 30+ minutes

- The GPS device can use power saving mode if needed
- The device gives position updates at the selected tracking frequency and transmits its position

Note! Use with caution, because:

- Between position updates the device enters sleep mode (hibernating), so that it cannot give position updates, or receive phone calls, or process commands sent to it. The commands are received by the device at least by the time when the device powers up for the next position update
- If You're having trouble getting position updates, use 1 minute tracking interval

Differences in outdoor temperature also affect power consumption, and also other external factors e.g. if the device has to increase power to maintain an internet connection in a weak mobile operator's network, then it increases power consumption
