Prior to the AirPods Pro 2 released this fall, none of the AirPods devices or cases had hardware support for location. The best they can do is a very low resolution location of the actual pods using Bluetooth. When in the case, all it knows is where it was when you put the pods in the case. I had turned off that feature for my older AirPods as it was not useful. If you had AirPods Pro 2, it can locate the device as long as there is an iPhone or similar device in the vicinity to relay the signal. This is handled by the U1 chip in the APP2 and in the iPhone. the location can be identified quite closely in this case. Find My works well for devices that have a U1 chip or GPS like phones, iPads, and Macs.
