    Yeah. I still have a preorder on a few android trackers. But picked up a samsung tracker for a trip where I would actually need to check my luggage and have it moved from hotel to hotel.

    in the US it seemed like near constant coverage. Had fun sitting in a lounge watching it pin every minute or so as it was moved to get loaded onto my plane or to luggage claim. And even in Japan (where Samsung has a much smaller market share because… beef with Korea), it was still maybe every half hour or so that it would ping while the luggage delivery service had it. Was especially funny to realize I was on the exact same shinkansen at one point and acknowledging I should get a drink before walking to my hotel.

    Tried a Tile a few years back (bought two right before the company got sold to the company that monetizes user data…) and coverage was atrocious on my dry run where I just uninstalled the app on my phone and kept the tracker in my backpack for a trip. I think I got one ping in something like five days.
