Tracking Tortoises
While the size of a tortoise GPS backpack is fairly standard, the Telemetry Solutions Small GPS backpack offers unique features that set it apart. One key innovation is the reinforced rear corner—armored to withstand constant turning and abrasion inside burrows, protecting the battery and electronics from exposure. Additionally, the system includes long-range data transfer and a user-adjustable advertising interval, making data retrieval straightforward and highly efficient.

Small GPS Backpacks - The Best Choice
The Smart Temperature feature detects when a tortoise emerges from its burrow and can automatically insert GPS position attempts into your existing schedule. Combined with Smart GPS, which uses the accelerometer to recognize periods of inactivity underground, the system can dynamically adjust the GPS schedule in real time. While you can pre-program a fixed schedule, these intelligent features help conserve battery life by preventing unnecessary GPS fixes when the animal is underground.
