Personal trackers rely entirely on a massive web of connected devices to do their job. When you attach one of these gadgets to your keys or luggage, it depends on background wireless signals and steady internet data from nearby phones to ping its location back to you.
If you are planning to pick one up, take a moment to check your phone settings first. Make sure your wireless features and location services are turned on, and confirm your device software is updated so it can communicate with the network. It is also wise to run a quick connection check on your home Wi-Fi and mobile data, since an unstable connection will keep your screen from refreshing map locations in real time.
A lower price tag is great, but smart accessories are only as dependable as the everyday network connections running quietly in the background.
