I know there are a lot on Ali Express and I’m curious if any are compatible with a FOSS app. I have tried using Tile products in the past but the app and the way they implemented a membership was a bit annoying.

    Are there many Android devices that support UWB yet other than the newest Galaxy and Pixel 8 Pro?

        Well I imagine other manufacturers will get onboard soon, and it has the potential to be an even more robust system since the iPhone is mostly an American phenomenon. The roughly 2:1 iOS:Android market share is flipped on its head globally. Actually I don’t think it’s even that high in the US anymore since we’re all increasingly fucking broke.

          the tracker system doesn’t need UWB. That’s only used when you’re trying to precisely locate something (e.g. arrow pointing to its location). Bluetooth is all the fleet needs. I think Google could pretty much overnight roll out an enormous tracking network
