These are NOT GPS trackers. They use a version of bluetooth. Finding keys in your house is one thing but this is not going to help you find your drone in the forest unless you're standing within 100 of it.
You are right about that and the tracker will not replace DJI's app in remote locations but it could be an add-on (in more populated areas, it seems that it will work like 'Find my Phone', using the existing Apple devices in the proximity as beacons so very accurately).
Some version of he existing Tiles have approx. 400-foot range, they also come in an ultra portable size with a sticker that is waterproof. Rumors are that Apple's device will have a broader range. The issue with DJI's app is that it is not very accurate when you're close to the drone BUT if you can add a device that can pinpoint your drone with up to 10cm accuracy live will be much, much easier.
Many users go to the location where the drone should be but still aren't able to find it. Maybe DJI could implement something like this directly on future drones. |
