PinPaw – Pet Tracker
· v1.0.0
About
PinPaw shows where your pet is, right on your wrist.
The glance gives you the essentials without opening anything: your pet's name,
whether the tracker is reporting, how far away it is, the battery level and how
fresh the last fix is.
Open the app and you get a compass arrow pointing at your pet, the distance in
your own units, and the tracker's battery and fix age. Turn, and the arrow turns
with you.
FROM THE MENU
• Live tracking on or off: the tracker reports far more often and the watch
refreshes every 10 seconds
• Car mode for a ride, or start and stop a walk by hand, whichever matches how
that pet records walks
• Switch between pets when you have more than one
WHAT YOU NEED
A PinPaw account and a PinPaw GPS tracker: https://pinpaw.pl
Your phone has to be nearby with Garmin Connect running, because the watch has
no internet connection of its own.
SETUP
1. In the PinPaw mobile app: Settings → Generate API key → Copy API key
2. In Garmin Connect: Connect IQ → PinPaw → Settings → paste the key
Your password never reaches the watch, and the key can be revoked at any time
from the mobile app.
PERMISSIONS
• Communications: reads your pets' positions from the PinPaw API
• Positioning: your own position, to work out distance and direction
• Sensor: the compass, so the arrow turns with you
