For each humpback whale are given the IDs of the DTAG and Fastloc-GPS loggers, geographical coordinates of the initial observed position, track duration, number of position fixes obtained by visual observation and Fastloc-GPS, and computational runtime of the model. The DTAG ID contains information about the species, year, Julian day and tag-of-day; for example, ‘mn11_157a’ refers to the first tag (‘a’) deployed on a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) on day 157 of 2011
