Remember when the migration routes of small birds were vague geolocator estimates, and obtaining home ranges involved manual radio-tracking? How times have changed. Today, small birds can carry tags that can log GPS accuracy locations, improving the quality of the data for your research.
With the fully programmable schedule you can choose the days and times that locations are recorded, to meet the specific requirements of your study.
Great for:
Our PinPoint tags have revolutionised the way you can collect animal movement data from small species. These tags record locations when you schedule them, even if you are on a different continent, the records are often as accurate as radio-tracking data, and they don’t require you to be in the field for each location. For larger species, remote download of data further reduces labour costs.

1. Tags can be customized to be more robust or include tubes for fitting harnesses. Please note that these options will add weight. Larger versions with more fixes are available.
2. Locations may be attempted but the bird’s behaviour can prevent GPS communication. Fewer locations will be attempted at temperatures below 10˚C.
3. High Intensity schedules calculate the location attempts in good conditions every five minutes, whereas Low Intensity schedules assume a location attempt once per day.
Features and specifications are subject to change without notice.
Other battery sizes available, please contact one of our Telemetry Specialists to find out more.
A PinPoint DLC is required for scheduling, and downloading locations after being recovered.
