    Have been using Chipolo One Point with Google Find My Network for the past week.

    I live in Central Europe (Warsaw in particular) and when in the city center, the location updates around twice every hour. I tested it by having it (knowingly) carried by my SO for a couple days. I disabled Fine My Network on her phone so that it wouldn’t be merely dependent on it. When in the city center, the location was accurate down to the building and updated twice an hour. The Find My app often shows a huge radius, but its center is usually the actual location.

    When I put in our car which I left in our still high-density residential area it updated every couple hours still with acceptable accuracy. The range for direct connection is around 30 meters in clear view and 5 meters in obstructed.

    You can share the tracker with other Google accounts, but they will only see newly updated locations after sharing, not the current location. You cannot access historical locations afaik.

    Tracker can be marked as lost, however I’m not sure what this does. Supposedly holding someone’s “lost” tracker to your phone should give you contact information to the owner, but I tested this with three devices and it yielded no results.
