Has anybody used either Air Tags or Galaxy SmartTags?
I think they are basically the same thing. The Air Tag is made by Apple and the Galaxy by Samsung. and connect to their phones. As I understand it they use any passing Bluetooth signal to phone home and tell the owner where they are. If you are in the middle of a desert or forest they they won’t know or be able to communicate but if there is anyone within range with the appropriate Samsung or iPhone and Bluetooth turned on then they phone home.
Personally I was vaguely aware of Air Tags but today I was talking about a parcel I sent using Australia Posts tracking number and my son told me that when they sent his household goods to Darwin he was able to track its whereabouts using an Air Tag he put in a suitcase (or something)
Got me thinking and investigating, I have a Samsung phone and Amazon sell their brand in packs of four for $110 or about $31 individually
They do not use GPS. I can see a use for them but wondered if anybody here had any experience of/with them? You will never use your keys with one of these attached.
