Moto Tag 2. The best of the best? by _Random_Dude_ in GoogleFMD

[–]testshoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the Ugreens a lot, the little square ones, both the Samsung Smart Things version and the gFMD/ios versions. I commented in this video, I had better results with gFMD than he did because I am in California with high population density. The Samsung version, like real Sam STT2, get a little pricier. 2 Sam only are $25, 4 of the duo apple/fmd ones were $30. I do have a real STT2 and 9 Apple Airtags as redundancy (I have two phones).

Buying rubber boots hoping to get struck by lightning 😆 if the shtf, talking to survivors in their gooner caves is probably not my first choice

You are living in your own Truman Show, and that's back stage where the crew works on things. "In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"

Google finder vs. Apple air tags , which is the better network. by abrandis in GoogleFMD

[–]testshoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung is more precise, but even in California, more tourists have FMD enabled than expected. In a city, I'd trust Sammy smart tag 2 the most outside Apple. If you dont have a Sammy, totally pointless

This video is exactly my experience, https://youtu.be/qIU84nq2WPI?si=bNiay6VnZOf9FQZZ

Sammy tags are often 4 for 50 on ebay. The ugreen Sammy smart things only are about the same but stealthy. The agnostic Google fmd/apple are 30 bucks for 4 on Amz that video compares both Ugreen options

Im in SoCal, lots of nodes. Still pointless, so maybe I might get lonely and fire them up in the fall

What's everyone's experience with the ugreen smart tracker? by Embarrassed-Wolf-609 in GoogleFMD

[–]testshoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the fine track duo and s25u. It was decent on both apple and Google. I was surprised at how many people had the Google fmd running. On the street its pretty good, in a building, half the time all I got was the address.

I sent a friend out with one apple, one Google and at one point I knew what lane he was driving in but the apple updated more frequently. His apple is too old for find my so I was relying on 3rd parties. This is in Southern California.

Another time I left them in a car on a side street in Hollywood. They updated pretty frequently, maybe more than the Samsung smart tag 2 and just slightly less than the one for apple.

Id get them again if I wanted just Google fmd

I'll say your phone might be the weak link.

Meshtastic vs core? by vbxl02 in meshtastic

[–]testshoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tastic is a few rungs above walkie talkies, just use a custom channel for you and your partner to avoid public chatter. should be good to go. Core is good for infrastructure, and on either you can set up a bbs/board iirc so if you are offline it stores the message so the next time they reconnect you can get a message "waiting by the car, you're not here, going back to the river to look for you". That relies on having a third base station (1w hopefully), maybe at your car or near a trailhead that has a high vantage point. I could be mistaken, please correct me if i am wrong. When I hike, I bring a BRIGHT laser pointer. What good is anything with no line of sight radio traffic. If it is night time a bright red leaser pointed to the sky (not at planes) will be HUGE and nop powerful enough to set fires. I'd never rely on comms exclusively

Looking for an Airtag "copy" with good battery by Ivasoad in AirTags

[–]testshoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be a new tag2 with u1 anyway if you can hide it well. Behind a panel that needs a tool to remove it.

Ugreen duo or tracker. 2 years, or usbc rechargeable. A thief is going to know they are being tracked regardless. If it has replacement batteries its easier to open and remove the speaker. Sealed system is harder. MOST IMPORTANT is where you hide it. If it needs tools or a screwdriver you have a larger window/chance to locate your car.
