How Luggage Trackers are Revolutionizing Travel

Let’s face it, traveling can be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. Did you know that approximately 25 million bags are mishandled by airlines each year?

Whether you're exploring your own city or jet-setting across the globe, the last thing you want to worry about is losing your luggage or backpack. That’s why luggage trackers are game-changers, ushering in a new era of peace of mind for travelers.

How Do Luggage Trackers Work?

Luggage trackers use different technologies like GPS, cellular, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi to monitor the location of your belongings.

GPS enables precise positioning by receiving signals from satellites. Cellular connectivity transmits location data through mobile networks, offering coverage even in areas with weak GPS signals.

Bluetooth trackers establish wireless connections with nearby devices, offering proximity-based tracking within a limited range, typically up to a few hundred feet.

The best luggage trackers combine multiple technologies to enhance accuracy, functionality, and reliability. For instance, a luggage tracker might use GPS for outdoor tracking, cellular for long-range communication, and Bluetooth for indoor proximity tracking.

These trackers are powered by internal batteries and they’re often managed through power-saving features like sleep modes and motion sensors to maximize battery life. Whether through GPS, cellular, or Bluetooth, luggage trackers ensure your bags stay within reach, offering peace of mind while you’re on the move.

Ekster’s Finder Card takes luggage tracking to new heights with its super slim design and unparalleled battery life. It fuses all of the above-mentioned technologies to create the ultimate tracking device for luggage, wallets, golf clubs, passports, you name it.

This multi-faceted tracking device seamlessly integrates with the Apple Find MyⓇ app, allowing you to pinpoint the exact location of your luggage on a map, anywhere in the world. More on that later.

Why Every Traveler Needs a Luggage Tracker

The question of whether or not to invest in a luggage tracker is a no-brainer for travelers. Imagine knowing where your bag is at all times, even when it’s stowed away on a train or bus. Or sleeping easy on a connecting flight, knowing where your luggage is at any given moment simply by checking your phone.

It sure beats that awful feeling of arriving at your destination only to spend most of the day looking for your bag, trying to get assistance from busy airport staff, and not knowing for sure whether you’ll get your belongings back or not.

With a luggage tracker like the Finder Card, you’re always in control and can quickly locate your belongings either by seeing where your luggage is on a map on your phone or by calling the Finder Card using the Bluetooth ringer and locating it nearby.

 

What Makes the Finder Card a Standout Luggage Tracker?

Among all of the tracking devices out there, the Finder Card is the slimmest rechargeable tracker on the market.

Long-range Bluetooth Tracking

Despite its small size, the Finder Card packs a punch when it comes to its ringer volume, emitting a sound reaching up to 95 dB to help you locate your missing bag when it’s within earshot.

Combined with its impressive Bluetooth range of 300 feet, you’ll locate your luggage with ease, even in crowded or noisy environments.

 

Share Your Device’s Position

The Finder Card allows you to share your device’s position with up to five people, which is especially handy when you’re traveling with friends or family.

This feature lets your companions help locate your luggage in cases where the Apple device that you would normally use to track your Finder Card is inside your missing bag.

Not to worry, your privacy and security are always protected. The Finder Card is equipped with advanced encryption to ensure your location remains confidential. In the unlikely event that someone attempts to track you without your consent, the built-in anti-stalking features will promptly alert you.
