      Not just subscription itself, but services that require consumer income. How many "free storage for life" claims have we seen where they were just hoping to get bought out before paying their own bills. GPS still requires some maintenance costs of course but it's a military tech, they don't need consumer money at all. Meshtastic doesn't need consumer money because we can all add and maintain our own nodes

      AFAIK GPS sellers are either pricing in systems that relay to satellites that then ping your device and relay the information back, or they're paying others to manage those systems and charging subscriptions. I could be wrong, but there was a vid about a year ago of a maker building a custom system that would be for personal regional use or could be rented as a service to GPS services that didn't have coverage in that area.

      No GPS receiver requires a subscription, as they are purely for receiving satellite data without sending anything back. This device is essentially just a GPS receiver intended to pair with older, entry-level Meshtastic devices that lack built-in GPS functionality. However, most recent Meshtastic devices already come with integrated GPS sensors, so the utility of this standalone receiver is fairly limited today. It’s mostly relevant for those using older DIY Meshtastic setups.

If you lose it they replace it for free. However I need something that will fit in a shoe for my father-,in-law who has Alzheimer's. Will it fit in a shoe comfortably?

    Not so. They do not need the cloud or networking to work.

    I still can't see GPS !! YOU FINALLY GET TO THE USE CASES. What is wrong with you?? I could care less about all the techno data until I know if it even covers my interest in BUYING the device in the first place. I didn't search you out your video showed up in my feed. Take this comment as serious advice; If you want people to recommend or listen any further than a couple of minutes at least summarize the potential uses. Like ; "This device can keep you from relying on Google maps and help protect your privacy and later in this video I'll show you how." Now, that can perk interest. I bunch of unpointed claims followed by a slew of technical data when someone who's not into this stuff severely chokes down your audience to just those with experience with similar devices like ham operators and the like.

    I'd prefer a usb c connector or at least with wireless charging, mag connectors feel so proprietary especially when the whole goal of to get away from companies, the idea or relying on a vendor specific cable when many widely available\used ones exist seems just a bit too counterproductive especially when you expect animals to be tearing it apart.

What an internet connection can do is reduce the time to position acquisition by allowing the phone to obtain positional/orbit information about satellites that would normally be derived from GPS signals directly.

      It’s indented to be a remote tracker. The cell service part refers to the traditional gps trackers that send their location via cell service.
      This one on the other hand hast a LoRa wireless module and supports Meshtastic, which it uses to send its location.
      You can use it on your person as a standalone tracker to record your own path. But it is more intended be track other goods.
      For example put it on your Bag and track it if it gets stolen.

    GPS, full name is Global Positioning System, and it's a satellite constellation (24 plus spares) and ground stations together, and it's owned by the DoD of the USA.
    So how can anyone own a "GPS"? All they own is a signal receiver, that can receive and decode GPS, and/or other GNSS signals.
    The abbreviation should be GPSr, or today, GNSSr, where r stands for receiver.
    It's like you say people own a cellular network, instead of a cellular phone.
