Hello selfhosted community,

I need a privacy respecting alternative for an Apple AirTag. I recently bought my first expensive bike and i would like to know where it is, as it will be used by multiple people.

I know gps service costs something and I am willing to pay for it but I do not want any location data ending up somewhere it shouldn’t.

Thank you.

This looks really cool. I've heard of Meshtastic but don't know the first thing about it. Time to do some reading...

Buy a few t1000 to see how it works and if you have any other nodes in your area. If you do you’ll have decent coverage.

The t1000 doesn’t have amazing battery life but I think there’s devices that are dedicated to gps tracking that last a lot longer.
