Kismet can use a GPS sensor and multiple WiFi strength readings as one moves around to do a pretty good job of mapping WAPs.
I've been kind of disappointed that F-Droid doesn't appear to have any program using Android's Location Services with high-resolution positioning to build a map of the location of nearby Bluetooth devices.
I have, on occasion, not been able to remember where I set my Bluetooth headphones.
Some newer wireless headsets may be able to do this. I have a pair of JBLs that show up in Find Hub (I know, Google, yuck, I'm working on it) and emit a (piercing, loud AF) tone upon request.

I saw a woman with a red hat and trenchcoat leaving the scene. I think she was going to a country with a three-stripe flag.

They’re talking about finding lost electronic devices under a comic about finding lost electronic devices.
