I'm interested in this as a luggage locator while traveling -- anyone use it for that? What was the experience? Thanks!

If you're talking Baggage Claim at the airport, that would depend on the chaos and noise level around you and how far off it is. You should be able to hear it pretty good once it's on the turnstile. I use mine when away from home to make sure I've packed my items before leaving someone's house or a hotel room, or at the back of the car to make sure I have my kindle, my keys, my cell phone, my wallet and other things that are crucial to have (I have more than one set). I can stand in the hotel room and hear the beeping quite plainly thru my luggage... or just find which bag has the item in it. No problem at all hearing thru the luggage. Just remember that it will only locate/beep back at you if you "hold" the button down. So, my experience has been really good. Distance is great enough for my house and my sister's house, and I've even used it to find keys in a regular Marshall's store. As far as thru walls and stuff... Found stuff in a closet, underneath a seat, in the chair cushion pushed way down, under the bed and other weird and surprising places. Wish they made these for eyeglasses and socks!!

Definitely - I travel frequently and it works great. Doesn't seem like it even worked on an 12 hour flight.

I am not sure if it is specifically for travel, but I have used it while traveling by car, and it is small and easy to carry...haven't traveled with it by plane, but would be easy to do...:)

It has always worked when I use it. I sometimes don't take it as I don't really want to carry it around while on business. It has worked on both united and us airways flights I have used it. A lot of the time I just ask to get one as I am boarding the plane so it's not so noticeable.

I can't say that it works better, but it is certainly a whole lot easier. I recently took a trip to Ireland and was able to use it discretely on the long flight as well as daily on a bus tour. Made my trip so much better during long sit times. At home, I'm free to move around. It really is a convenience issue.

Yes, I use an app called Copilot, even used it in the UK on vacation. Works like a gps in your car.

I thought it was such a cool idea. I could carry the fob and if I left my iPhone on my desk at work it would tell me. It would sometimes give me a false positive (beeping when I was right next to the phone) or not beeping when I walked really far away. So I have not used it in 9 months (since I retired). Wish it would have worked like it said. It could just be the App and it probably has been updated and I just don't care as much as when I was at work and would accidentally leave it on my desk and walk away. Hope this helps in some way.

I'm sorry but I haven't used it to weigh luggage. Perhaps when my weight comes down and I'm again traveling again for pleasure, I will weigh the luggage (LOL).......

This is a data logger. Not a real time tracking device. Download data at the end of trip on a computer and then review report.

I'm sure this would work when you travel - I have not gone anywhere to test it but it seems very durable. The only thing bad that happened with mine was that when I got it out for the spring/summer season a few days ago it seemed to have some mold on it from being folded in a closet. If it was mold, it must have been put away damp which was my fault. I washed it off with Lysol spray cleaner and it is fine.

No however you do not get real time tracking, the unit has to be placed in or on the vehicle and then removed and information downloaded post journey.It seems the most reasonable item out there for the money, i.e. once you have paid for it that's it. It does burn through batteries and if the batteries fail half way through a trip then you seem to lose the rest of the data. It works for us doing random vehicle tracking on day journeys, it may not work if used for a several day road trip.

Understand it is not a tracker It works horribly if you are trying to track a cheating spouse or renegade 17 year old. It will let you know where your cement truck ended up though at some point. It can't be hidden and needs to see the sky. So in my opinion it is useless for use as a covert tracker or lojack. I like the linxup stuff which uses cell technology the spot uses satellites. Call their help desk and ask. their service and help desk are unusually helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend them highly if you understand what it is the product does.

It's definitely not good for travel. I mean it depends how you look at it. I find it annoying that the wire is very long and the plug is huge. It makes is very inconvenient

I don't use it. Tried it once and can't justify using it on a 500+ piece of eqy. I'm sure it works. But I rather focus on the road and people in cars then keep looking down to see if my phone is still there.

For me this is more a way to organize stuff in a case than a substitute for a case. I use it for electronics, not toiletries, but I'm not convinced everything would stay put if this were loose in luggage.

That's about all it is good for, finding your way back. I use mine while hunting new land, to get back to my truck. It great for that. I use a different GPS to mark my traps in the winter.
