Can I see where my cat is in real time with this device?

Short answer: No - this device does not show your cat's location in continuous real time; it uses Bluetooth/SmartThings-Find, not in-built GPS.

Explanation: The tracker works primarily via Bluetooth (up to ~120 m range) and reports its location via the SmartThings Find network when another Galaxy device within range forwards the signal.
- Within Bluetooth range, you can locate the cat directly and play a sound; the app shows the approximate position on the map.
- As soon as the tag is outside your Bluetooth range, localisation is only possible if a third-party Samsung device detects the signal and transmits the position via SmartThings; this is selective and not continuous "live GPS".
- The device does not have GPS and therefore does not offer permanent real-time tracking like specialised GPS pet trackers with mobile communications (e.g. with SIM/4G).

If you absolutely need continuous real-time tracking, a GPS tracker with cellular reception is a more suitable choice; if you are okay with occasional location updates via the Galaxy network and local Bluetooth search, this device will do the trick.

I'm pretty sure about this information; the manufacturer and comparison sources confirm that there is no GPS built in and SmartThings/Bluetooth network is used for tracking.
