Default Re: No more crying over stolen race car or trailers!

From live chat on TrackR website:

The maximum bluetooth range for our TrackR devices is up to 100 ft. or 30 meters (clear sight). Within this 100 ft. range, the item is located on a map using Google Maps or iMaps data from your phone. Range will vary depending on line of sight. Indoors the range is 30-50+ feet.

****PLEASE NOTE: TrackR is NOT a live GPS tracking device.****You will not see live or real time movement****

If your device is lost or is outside of this bluetooth range (up to 100 ft.), you will need to rely on our Crowd Locate network to locate your items. When an item goes missing with a TrackR device attached, anyone with the TrackR app installed on their phone will begin to search for that item. When another TrackR app user passes within 100 ft. of the lost item, that user's phone will anonymously ping our server and then you will receive an update with the new time, date and location.

You can see a map of Crowd Locate coverage at http://www.thetrackr.com Just scroll down to the middle of the page and type in your address in the address field above the map to see your coverage.
Important note: Because Crowd Locate does depend on another TrackR app user coming within bluetooth range of your TrackR device, we have no control over when that may happen. So, please make sure you do check your Crowd Locate coverage if you want to use TrackR on a pet or a valuable item like a bike or car, etc.

The TrackR has no GPS.

Thank You. I thought this was the way it worked but couldn't find info on google to support it.

Do thieves care if an item is illegal ?

Probably not, because they are thieves.

I had to go back and re-read his post.

The winkie face wasn't showing that's why I didn't see it
