Lokate

Advanced Route Tracking for SAR K9 Teams

A training record without the track that goes with it is half the story. Lokate ties your GPS tracks to your logs so you can relive past sessions — see where you went, what happened, how conditions shaped the outcome. What you learn reviewing yesterday's training shapes tomorrow's.

Handle multiple K9s. Keep vet records, certifications, and seminar history in one place — ready to share with evaluators, team leads, or anyone who needs to see it. No digging through folders.

Logging System

After each session, capture details using fully customizable form templates. Build your own forms with the fields your team needs — no coding required. Whether trailing, area search, HRD, water, disaster, or avalanche.

Track Import & Replay

Import tracks from CalTopo or any GPX source. Label them as handler, K9, subject, or flanker. Replay everything together, watching the animation unfold to see how each participant moved through the area.

Weather & Conditions

Lokate automatically pulls weather data for your training period — from when your subject went out till found, covering conditions that happened overnight. No extra effort required.

K9 Profiles & Archive

Keep detailed profiles for each K9 — certifications, disciplines, handler assignments. Every assignment archives automatically to iCloud with tracks, logs, photos, and a formatted HTML report.
