Walk outside away from all other devices.

Walk 100 paces. Put tile down. Walk back to where you started.

UI flow:

1) It shows a map of across town (last ping was hours ago).

2) tap find -> your tile is nearby, wait while we connect (with done button)

3) timeout -> map shows a dot where the phone is, without a big uncertainty circle around it. Can’t zoom.

4) reopen app. Map resets to across town (or, worse, 50 ft in the wrong direction, so you think it pinged a location).

5) walk to pick up keys. No music or phone notification. (Later, an email arrives, usually.)

6) tap around to debug (want to pay for smart alerts?)

7) (when someone else asks me for help). Where’s my credit card?!? Tile is holding my keys hostage for $3!!

8) (if you didn’t pick up the keys) go to step 2.

This is deterministic on iOS with everything up to date. It’s been like this for over a year across multiple iPhone generations.
