Unfortunately Whistle doesn't work in areas with poor coverage. And then there's the battery issues. A tag would at least be a good redundancy solution.

If you're in an area with limited to no cell coverage, there probably aren't many people wandering around with iOS devices either -- especially not ones with cell connectivity to upload the locations where they spotted your tag.
- toddh 5y agoThat does get to an issue I was wondering about: how long does it remember and does it associate each ping with a geo tag? We live the mountains with poor coverage and a dog who at one time was a wizard at escaping and getting lost. Yet we do have people all around, so I think the iphone solution would work, even if it was delayed. At least I would have an idea of where to start searching. I bought every lower than professional level device and they all just didn't work here.
