Its been a while since I read anything about the tracker GPS , but my understanding is it will use cell phone towers to relay info. That would give it unlimited reach , PROVIDED YOU HAVE CELL SERVICE .
In other words , you could sit in your living room in Florida and track your dog in California with unlimited coverage. The problem might be that some areas do not have cell coverage though.
I'm sure they are working on that problem and I'v heard rumors that it will work better than cell coverage , but I dont know that for a fact.
The Garmin uses a radio signal to relay GPS details where'as the Tracker would use cell signal.
I could be worng , but this is what I have been told.
