Ask A Vet keeps a record of where your pet has been — the trips they've taken, the places they've settled, and the walks you've recorded. Here's where to find it and how to read it.
Two places to look
| Where | What you get |
|---|---|
| The map drawer — scroll down on the GPS Tracker map to the LOCATION HISTORY section | A quick feed of the last 7 days. If it's empty you'll see "No location history yet". |
| The Locations screen — from your pet's profile, tap Locations ("Trips, stays and sightings") | The full history, with two tabs: Timeline (everything that happened, newest first) and Location (a heatmap of where your pet spends their time). |
What's on the Timeline
The Timeline merges four kinds of entry into one list:
| Entry | How it's titled |
|---|---|
| Trips — completed LIVE Tracking sessions | {start} → {end}, or Live tracking session if the places couldn't be named |
| Stays | At {place}, or In {zone} for a no-go zone |
| Walks you've recorded | — |
| QR tag scans — when someone scans your pet's tag | A scan where the finder chose not to share their position reads QR tag scanned — no location shared |
Cards can also carry tags: Here now for a stay that's still happening, plus POWER SAVING and NO-GO ZONE where they apply.
The Timeline has no fixed time window — keep scrolling and it loads older entries, 20 at a time.
Opening a trip or walk
Tap any trip or walk card. The detail screen shows:
- The route drawn on a map, with the stops your pet made along the way.
- A replay scrubber so you can play the journey back.
- Three tiles: Duration, Distance and Avg speed.
The heading above the title reads LIVE TRACKING · Aug 3 or WALK · Aug 3. There's also a Share route button.
Tip: playback runs on a compressed clock — roughly one second of replay per minute of the real session, and always between 20 and 60 seconds in total. Short trips don't flash past, and long ones don't take all day.
Opening a stay
Tap a stay to see it circled on a map with an Arrived / Left timeline. A stay with no recorded coordinates isn't tappable.
If the history is empty
You'll see: "No location history yet — Trips, stays, and QR tag scans will show up here once your pet's tracker or tag starts reporting."
