Roam Smart GPS Tracker - 2 Pack - Blue

No, the Roam tracker works with Apple's Find My network and Google's Find My Device network without any additional subscription fees.

The tracker utilizes Bluetooth for close-range finding and leverages the anonymous, crowdsourced network of Apple and Android devices for longer-range location. Its effective range depends on the density of these devices in your area.

While it can be attached to a pet's leash, it is not designed as a dedicated pet tracker and lacks features like real-time GPS or alerts if a pet leaves a designated area. It relies on the Find My network for location.

The tracker is not rated as waterproof. It is best to keep it away from prolonged exposure to water or harsh weather conditions.

The Roam tracker features a patented self-attachment method, along with an elastic strap and key cord, allowing it to be secured to bags, bikes, luggage, keys, and more.

The battery is designed to last up to 2 years and is not user-replaceable. Once the battery is depleted, the tracker will need to be replaced.

For iOS devices, use the built-in 'Find My' app. For Android devices, use the 'Google Find My Device' app.

Ensure the tracker is within range of your device or has recently been detected by the Find My network. Try refreshing the app. If it's a new setup, confirm it was added correctly.

The tracker's location updates are based on the proximity of other Apple or Android devices. In areas with low device density, updates will be less frequent. Ensure the tracker is attached to an item that is likely to be in public areas.

Utilize the included elastic strap and key cord. Experiment with different attachment points on your item to find the most secure fit. For items like bikes, ensure it's fastened away from moving parts.

Battery life can be affected by network conditions and temperature. If you suspect an issue, ensure the tracker is not in an area with constant, weak network signals. Note that the 2-year estimate is typical and can vary.
