Googles find my device network has been live for a couple of months now, after it was delayed (supposedly waiting on Apple) for like a year. Two other companies released trackers around the end of March. There's a few more sold in non US markets. Moto saying they'll have a tracker for sale in the coming months while others have already left the gate would be the slow poke part. There was a huge amount of info about the find my device network rollout. Moto really should have done this and been selling it already. It's a copy of what's already available.
Moto tag’s sleek silhouette was designed specifically to fit perfectly with most third-party accessories already on the market so that users can easily attach it to all their valuables.

Lol. Google's expertise on privacy. Yeah, they probably know really well how to circumnavigate all those pesky privacy rules.

And now our partner, the NSA will demonstrate the privacy safeguards they implemented in our latest software..

Hey guys we made a neat new Bluetooth tracker! We’re innovators!

Motorola has been in the tracker game since way before Air Tags.
I remember getting a Bluetooth tracker with my Moto X circa 2014. Back when Tile dominated the market.

For a moment I thought it might have GPS. 😅

But where would it send the GPS data if not over Bluetooth?
avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 2y
To a central server via a cellular network. So GPS and a modem. There are such trackers, I thought this was one of them. 😊
