A:Answer Hello there,
Great question! Tile is great for finding misplaced items and the things that matter most.
Keep in mind that Tile is powered by Bluetooth technology as opposed to GPS. This means that it works within a certain range (100-400 feet) and is best reserved for non-moving items. For long distance tracking and moving items like your car, GPS is typically your best bet; however, GPS often has significant drawbacks such as cell service contracts, poor battery life, and price. Tile is a great alternative for tracking down lost items such as a crashed drone or keys that have been dropped off of a forest trail.
For any lost items that are out of range, you can also utilize the power of our Tile Community to help update it's location. So far, we've shipped over 25 million Tiles, so there's bound to be someone to update the whereabouts of your Tile! You can learn more here: https://www.thetileapp.com/en-us/community-find
We're here to help! In the meantime, here's a true story about how Tile helped someone find their drone in the wild - https://www.thetileapp.com/blog/find-your-drone.
