Episode notes
Dual-Network Tracking Boosts Accuracy
- Roam uses a Nordic chipset to join both Apple and Android Find My networks without a separate app.
- Using both networks increases location triangulation options and improves accuracy globally.
What3Words Narrows Search To 3 Meters
- Roam partners with What3Words to tighten location precision down to about a three-meter radius.
- That level of accuracy makes it practical to locate items like suitcases or bikes within a small area.
Pair Directly With Find My Services
- Pair Roam directly with your Apple or Android Find My service so Roam never holds your personal data.
- This avoids installing a separate app and keeps location pairing within your existing account.
