RE: Thoughts on Air tags?

2023-11-29 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Except it’s not actually GPS, Airtags do not have a GPS receiver. They are 
strictly Bluetooth devices which connect to whatever compatible device they can 
find and then the location is updated via that device’s location services. The 
actual Airtag is not a very smart device at all which is also why they are as 
cheap as they are.

Subject: Re: Thoughts on Air tags?

How the GPS works is when the AirTag is near somebody who has an iPhone,
The identification number of the tag goes through that iPhone and up into the 
cloud, so that if you’re using find my iPhone, you can see the location where 
the AirTag was last near an iPhone. If the AirTag is not near an iPhone, you 
won’t get this information. Or, if it is near an iPhone, and then moves away 
from the iPhone, then you would get only the location of where it was when it 
was near the iPhone, and not its current location. So it is not perfect but it 
sure has helped me find my dogs Sent from my iPhone

Hi Jim,

I have used them in my luggage and also put one inside my 12 string guitar in 
case I leave it somewhere or someone decides to steel it. They are very easy to 
set up and work well.

Greetings,
I’ve never used or worked with Apple Air Tags before, but I was thinking of 
getting a few, as I’m traveling and thought it would be great to put on my 
luggage and such. First, is this a good use for them? Second, for those who 
have used them, are they worth while and easy to use?
Thanks much.
Jim

RE: Thoughts on Air tags?

Hi. I have air tags on my suit case, both my back packs, my keys, my wallet and 
my three cats. They’re easy to set up. I haven’t yet actually lost something 
and had to find it using the tag but I have played with them and they work 
great. If you have one of the phones with lidar you can get practically on top 
of the item.

Re: Thoughts on Air tags?

2023-11-27 Thread Thom Spittle 
Putting them on your luggage is a fantastic use for AirTags. I have an AirTag on the collar of each of my dogs. One of them got out of the yard and I found him about three or four streets over because he came next to somebody who had a  iPhone and that was able to send me the information for where that person was at the time they were near my dog. There are also some wallets and keychains that have AirTag holders so if you are somebody who tends to lose your keys or your wallet, you can put an AirTag on them and find them pretty easily.  You use the Find My iPhone app to track your AirTags. On the bottom third tab in is for items and that’s where they will show up. It’s very easy to use it’s accessible and I think you’ll enjoy them Sent from my iPhoneOn Nov 27, 2023, at 8:22 PM, portillo@gmail.com wrote:Greetings,I’ve never used or worked with Apple Air Tags before, but I was thinking of getting a few, as I’m traveling and thought it would be great to put on my luggage and such.
