I've tried GPS tracking collars and I'd not recommend them.
The first one was rubbish, the readings were all over the place, and the app was full of bugs. The second one worked very well, but it becomes more of a worry than a help because you end up checking all the time and wondering where she is now.
Also, there's an annual subscription of £50 (well, the one's a tried did anyway).
With our cat, she's 5, when she was about 3, she'd disappear for hours on end, but before she'd not go off for very long. And that did make me worry a lot. But now, she's back to the way she was before. I reckon her long stints away from the house lasted around 6 months.

Our cat went through a going missing period, but that was our fault for moving house and not keeping her in, what is more relevant is that we got a tracker. OH panic bought one and It was expensive, but worked quite well. The downside was indeed the size, in human terms of comparison it was like having a laptop case hung round your neck.
If I was forced to buy one again i'd at least look at bird trackers as they're obviously much smaller.
