Hey guys I have no idea if i'm in the right place but PLEASE HELP! Basically I'm a Bird scotter charger. often when I go to locate a Bird scooter I get to an apartment building which i'm sure the bird scotter is located in (I can see it very clearly on the map of my phone). As far as i know the scooter broadcasts its location all the time (as long as the battery is ok) using some sort sim card (this i'm sure of). What happens is I usually get to the apartment building where the scooter is but I have no way of knowing exactly where the scooter is! most of the time some tennant has it hidden in his apartment! What i want is some sort of device that could tell me the excact location of the scooter! signal direction, signal strength... etc... I KNOW this is possible, I've heard it from another bird charger who does not want to reveal his methods (obviously). PLEASE HELP! |

It isn't possible unless you own the cell tower, sorry. The 3G/4G signals are just too weak to use for direction finding |

I do know htis is possible. Maybe besides the scooter having a sim card, it transmitts something else that can be tracked? As i said, i know someone who is using this method but doesnt want to reveal his methods. He told me he pin points the scooter in an apartment building to a specific apartment and he knocks on that specific door and the scooter is there. he sent us photos. and i believe him. :/ |

I don't see how photos could be a proof of it. |

They may contain a low frequency pinger inside them. Like the Automatrics trackers do for short range direction finding. (although theirs is not on unless enabled remotely) To confirm/reject they have an always on pinger you would need a Bird Scooter, a spectrum analyzer and some 'smarts' on how to use it. |
