Abstract
The cost of GPS chip-sets have been substantially reduced in recent years. However, commercially-available animal tracking units, especially those that rely on remote interrogation/data download still command a high price tag (>US$2000). A low-cost, store-on-board GPS tracking collar (UNEtracker), based on a commercially-available GPS chip-set, has been developed to monitor the movements of livestock in a paddock-scale trial.
