What Is Outdoor Performance Mode?

Outdoor Performance Mode is a specialised tracking mode for Tack GPS users who prioritise improved location accuracy for pets or assets frequently located outdoors. This mode is optimised for use in open-sky conditions where the device is not sheltered, ensuring precise tracking.

How Does Outdoor Performance Mode Work?
