i have one in my car. it can be pretty helpful with street parking. :)
Did you know Apple Maps on the iPhone keeps track of where you parked your car?

You just search for 'car' and it'll show you - presumably it uses the location that your phone's Bluetooth disconnected from the car as you left it.

Just pointless when only one account can track a single airtag ... really does need fixing

If somebody moves you car without your knowledge or permission, the location recorded in Apple Maps will become out-of-date. That's when the Air Tag will really come in handy.

so do you need to use apple maps actively for this to work? also, i don't usually connect to my car via bluetooth. and lastly — if my car gets stolen — i'd like to see its updated location :)

a) I don't think so
b) I'm guessing it's reliant on that to work, but maybe it uses some other magic
c) Yeah sure, no good for that - but still very useful to find a parked car
