Can a microchip function as a GPS tracking device?

There is currently no such technology which combines a microchip and GPS tracker into one. It is not yet possible to implant a GPS tracker under the skin of an animal and currently available microchips do not offer GPS tracking.

A microchip is a passive implant and the chip number is read when a scanner is run over it. The microchip number displayed when the animal is scanned can be entered into a compliant UK microchip database to search for the details for reunification and for checking compliance with legislation.
