GREAT devices, but think about how you will use them before choosing a plan
With the state of air travel today, we only have moderate confidence that our checked bags will actually arrive with us, especially when flying with connecting flights.These devices let us see our bags as we were traveling and verify that they were actually making the same connections as us.The devices themselves are pretty inexpensive – each is sold for $30, and then you own it.Of course, you need a monthly subscription for each device in order to actually track the device. This is where you need to think about the plan you want.We chose the most basic plan – $19.95/month for a 3-minute reporting cycle. I.e., whenever the device is moving, it “phones home” every 3 minutes.Caveats: When not moving, it doesn’t report; when underground or in some shielded container and the 3-minute time comes up, it cannot report. So – what we found was that around airports, we would get random points where it was being moved between the aircraft and the terminal. E.g., if the 3-minute time happens while the bag is under the terminal and the bag/tracker is moved in a shipping container into the aircraft before the next 3-minute time, nothing gets reported.For our next trip, we will decrease the report time interval to either 1 minute or even 30 seconds (a few dollars extra per month). This will let us get more real-time information. (For the truly paranoid or fascinated, you can track down to 3-second updates.)For this trip (for a wedding, where we needed 8 days of many changes of clothing) we had to check two large bags. I put one tracker in each bag, plus a third in my carry-on with my computer (we thought we would have 3 checked bags but didn’t need the third bag).Tracking the bags at each airport reassured us that everything was working – AND if a bag had gone awry, we would have been able to tell the airline exactly where the bag could be located.You can “subscribe” for a single 30-day period and then terminate until your next trip, or if you are a frequent traveler, you can subscribe to multi-month or annual subscriptions at a reduced rate.Highly recommended in these days of flight delays and cancellations and baggage nightmares.Oh yes – what about using Apple AirTags instead? Apple AirTags require that you have an Apple iPhone. These work with iPhone and Android phones – and we only have Android phones. Plus, the AirTags report through Bluetooth connections, meaning that they need to be fairly close to another Apple Bluetooth device to report their positions. These devices have a built-in GPS and report through cell towers, so as long as the device can pick up some GPS satellites and is within cell range of a tower, it can report back as to its position.BTW – we got this to track our bags, but it can also be used to track your children’s driving or to track/recover your car, if stolen. The devices have strong magnetic mounts and can be attached to a vehicle in seconds. You can then see where the vehicle went, and even roughly figure out how fast the vehicle was moving at different times by the distance traveled between updates. If we had these when our son was first driving, we would definitely have been tracking him.For vehicles, you can program a “geo fence” – if the vehicle moves out of the fence, you will get an alert. So – if worried about your car being stolen from work (or airport or other location), you can use this device and program a geo fence around the area where the vehicle should be. If stolen, you will be alerted AND you can tell the police where your vehicle is currently moving or parked.

Very good system, but pay heed to subscription costs
I like the product very much. Seems very well-built, and in terms of tracking, highly accurate and reports reliably (even indoors). Have yet to test long-term since I just activated the device today.The main concern was a gotcha – that the subscription costs, I’ve just realized, were _PER DEVICE_ , which was not my initial understanding. (Where descriptions may say “unlimited use” isn’t equal to “unlimited number of devices”.)This was quite the gotcha, as I purchased six of these devices. Even with a 2-year discount, the cost was still significant!Concessions were made once I had spoken with Billing. I’m not paying over $500 per device anymore, but the total bill is still nowhere close to the amount I originally thought I’d be paying.So, in summary – I’ve no doubt this device and system will be great to track my valuables. And, I will expect that, considering the premium I’m paying for the service.Huge silver lining though — US company. As a YouTube reviewer said – accountability in this time and age is worth the serious consideration. That, alone is worth that premium. And, with the friendly concessions, and the company standing by their product and service – I feel it’s a win-win for everyone!

Does not update
It worked well for a week but shortly after I started using it, it started freezing up and will not update.

Great product and easy to use
This is a great product and easy to use. Battery last much longer than I expected.
