Many malls in Toronto have this. And as others have said, airports. Pearson International included.

I gotta hand it to Samsung that they outline all the open source licences they use, at least in their Galaxy smartphone products:
Alone. Phone's unplugged. Ignoring calls even though no one does.
Yes, it is turned on by default. You can opt-out if you'd like. Here's a pretty good article that covers it all: https://www.howtogeek.com/725842/what-is-apples-find-my-network/
Samsung SmartTags "Find" network is opt-in, which stagnated the growth of their network.
Tile's network is naturally opt-in as it requires us to install the app, and therefore has the lowest coverage from my understanding.
I recall seeing the following approximate numbers:
- Apple: 1,000,000,000
- Samsung: 300,000,000
- Tile: 35,000,000
Battery and data usage are negligible.
That's how it's expected to work, yes. As does Samsung SmartTags, and Tiles. These tracking devices (that we purchase and opt-in for) are a net positive in most cases. How else would we expect them to work if not for Bluetooth beacons (and UWB)?
+1 for Jerboa. Seems to be working well for me so far. A few odd bugs here and there, but I'm sure they'll be squashed soon.
