Can you imagine if all phones had LoRa radios

    I don’t know. One of the significant perks of meshtastic is the pseudo anonymity. Having a device locator function would break that. It wouldn’t be long after the network broke more widely than it has that a state level actor would abuse the location service.

    To some extent this exists. You can attach a Meshtastic radio with GPS (Seeed T-1000E, for intance) to anything you want. Then you can request the location of that radio. If it is accessible through the mesh, you can find out where it is. The problems are going to be coverage and battery life, but it is possible.

    I’d love to see something with feature parity with AirTags but less proprietary and (if possible) more private. Having ADHD means I forget where things are 2 seconds after I put them down, and being blind means I can’t see where I put them. AirTags have been a life saver for me.
