Lokate

Lokate is the professional GPS tracking solution built specifically for K9 SAR handlers.

  Unlike generic tracking apps, Lokate understands canine search and rescue workflows. Record handler and K9 tracks simultaneously, import
  subject tracks for trailing problems, document training sessions with discipline-specific metrics, and integrate seamlessly with CalTopo
  and other SAR mapping tools. Customizable log templates let you record your way—and share formats with your team to maintain group
  standards.
