The Location tab turns everywhere your pet has been into a heatmap, so you can see their favourite spots at a glance — the sunny patch by the window, the corner of the garden, the neighbour's hedge.
Open it
- From your pet's profile, tap Locations ("Trips, stays and sightings").
- Switch to the Location tab.
Reading the heatmap
The colours run from least-visited to most-visited: blue → green → yellow → orange → red.
Red areas are where your pet spends most of their time. Positions are grouped into roughly 25 m squares, so a whole afternoon in one garden reads as one hot patch rather than a scatter of dots.
QR tag scan sightings appear as pins on the same map.
Choosing the period
The time filter above the map gives you several ways to narrow things down:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Presets | 1h, 3h, 6h, 12h and 24h. The default is 24h. |
| Day paging | Step back a day at a time. |
| A scrub slider | Sweep through the selected period. |
| A custom timeframe | Pick your own start and end. |
Please note: a custom range can cover at most 31 days. Ask for longer and you'll see "The requested date range is invalid or exceeds the 31-day maximum."
Why the map looks simplified on long ranges
Two things happen automatically so the map stays readable and quick:
- Thinning. Very dense periods are reduced to a representative sample of around 2,000 points. If a period holds more data than can be shown, the result is flagged as trimmed.
- Jump filtering. Where two consecutive positions are more than 300 m apart, the pair is dropped rather than drawn — that's a GPS glitch, not a real journey, and drawing it would put a false line across the map.
Tip: if a long range looks sparse, narrow the period. A 1h or 3h view shows far more detail than a full month.
