instead of just one ping at 2%, do three within 10 seconds of each other. this would determine direction and rate of travel.

You can just remotely enable high accuracy mode for a minute and it will trace their path on a map cleanly.

wouldn’t that either be disabled due to the low battery or eat up the remainder of the battery?
I would think snapping coords, even at low accuracy, would be more power efficient since it technically doesn’t have to connect to more satellites and requires less compute.
