Abstract: The invention relates to a location method, a locating device, a locating arrangement and a computer program for tracking an object, such as a dog. The method utilises GPS locating, the event time of which may be controlled by the user. In addition, the user may define a data transmission network via which location data are primarily communicated to the tracker's device. By means of the frequency of measurements and the data transmission network used, the power consumption of the locating device of the object being tracked is minimised.

Abstract: More than one object to be positioned can be set simultaneously in mobile satellite positioning devices, and these objects can be either fixed coordinate points or moving objects. The objects are shown as graphical symbols on the display of the positioning device. Positioning devices can be set in a map display mode, in which there is a map base depicting the area to be positioned visible on the display, or in an arrow display mode, in which there is a compass circle and a direction arrow pointing to the active object to be positioned visible on the display.
