Nomad has launched a new location map that with the size of a classic credit card, it will allow you to always find where your wallet isthanks to the Apple Search network, and which also charges wirelessly compatible with the MagSafe system
Since Apple launched AirTags, tracking devices have become very popular. Important items such as house keys, backpacks, car keys or even our dogs or bicycles are the ideal destinations for these small devices so that we can always locate and recover them if we lose them. But for our wallets, there is however a small problem: an AirTag is too thick to be used with it, so A credit card shaped locator is the perfect idea because you can place it in any location for the cards in your wallet so as not to make it too thick.
Fits everywhere
And that’s exactly what Nomad has done, a device the same size and shape as a credit card (Nomad says it’s as thick as two cards but I feel like it is a little smaller), you can carry it comfortably in any card. support or wallet and thus always locate it. It is made of polycarbonate and has IPX7 certification, so it is water resistant. Its design is very discreet, no one could differentiate it from a classic credit card.
Support for Apple’s Find My network makes setup easy, just tap the “+” in the app and let it identify the card. You must have previously pressed a hidden button, so hidden that Nomad must itself indicate it to you with a sticker. But the best of all is that thanks to this compatibility with Search you will be able to locate it even if you are kilometers from the map, since will use any Apple device that passes nearby to send you its location. Did you forget it in the work cafeteria? Well, even if you are far away, any passing iPhone or iPad will send the map location to Apple’s servers and you will be able to locate it on the map. I have trackers on all my keys, my backpack and my camera bag, and I can say that the system works perfectly.
Almost impossible to lose
Not only that, in addition to being able to locate it on the map, You can configure notifications so that if you go away, a notification is sent to your iPhone that you leave it behind, so as not to forget to take it. You can configure trusted locations so that you are not notified there if you forget them, thus avoiding false alerts. You can ask to be shown the route to where the map is, or even have it play a sound in case you have it at home but can’t find it. It’s not a very loud sound, but in silence it’s perfectly useful to be able to find it. And if you want someone else to be able to see your location, you can share it with someone else and it will appear in their search app.
If lost, you can activate “Lost Mode”, which will block the card so that no one can reset it. In case at any time the location is not updated because there is no Apple device nearby, as soon as it connects to one and sends its location you will be notified in your app , and also If someone finds it, they can bring it closer to their device and see a message on their screen that you can personalize.r with your phone number so they can contact you. If with all these functions you end up losing your wallet, it is because fate is very capricious.
Mark the differences
I’m sure you’ve seen all of this before on similar devices, but Nomad wanted to solve one of the weak points of the cards you knew so far. Besides the quality of the materials used and the fact that it is one of the thinnest I have tried, what really makes it completely different is its loading system. It has an internal battery that gives it a battery life of 5 months, and when it runs out (you can see its remaining battery in the Search app) You can charge it using any wireless charger, and if it’s MagSafe, the better
Editor’s opinion
Nomad wanted to create the best localized map for our portfolio, and they succeeded, just by improving on the competition’s weak point. The wireless charging system is simply fantastic, and when you add to that everything that Apple’s “Search” network offers us, the final rating of this product is first class. Its size, thickness and design are perfect for carrying it without the wallet “suffering” and without attracting attention. It’s true that it’s a little more expensive than the competition, but it’s better than the others. You can buy it on the Nomad website for $37.95 (link) with taxes already included, you just need to add the shipping costs, which are 11$.
