LOKATE
Lokate: Advanced Route Tracking for SAR K9 Teams
Lokate is a powerful GPS tracking application tailored for Search & Rescue (SAR) K9 teams, now in version 3.4. It offers comprehensive GPS recording capabilities for both training and mission data, optimized specifically for K9 units.
Lokate logs the handler's coordinates and can import K9 tracks from various GPS devices and third-party software like SARTopo. It supports GPS hider tracks for trailing/tracking K9 problems and can import area polygons, line segments, and markers as map overlays.
Lokate enhances recorded data by adding weather information for the duration of the problem, including data from when the hider laid the track to when the problem was executed, helping you understand scent condition changes. The hider track data can show scent pools (with configurable dwell time and maximum distance) to help you interpret your K9's choices. Additionally, the recorded data can be played back at 10x speed for in-depth analysis.
Lokate is not intended to replace full unit mission recording software like SARTopo but is designed to meet the specific needs of K9 teams.
