Can you suggest a gadget for finding your kids or car?

Asked by JLeslie (65790points) February 18th, 2017 from iPhone

Some sort of little gps thing that you can put on or in whatever you want, and locate the item or person. Like if you lose your car in a parking lot, or if it’s stolen, or if you have a relative who gets lost.

I know I can do “find friends” on my phone, I use that with family members, but this would be something that maybe coordinates with an app in a phone to find what you lost, or log onto a website.

I hope I described it well.

Here’s a bunch to choose from.

Creepy, but effective.

^^Why creepy? Thanks for the link. At first glance it looks like many of those don’t work from very far away. I’ll have to look through it more carefully.

There are apps to mark you location as you leave your car.

Like this: MyCar Locator Free

Also I assume you can do this with the built-in maps on your phone, but I haven’t tried it.
