Using Bluetooth to get device last known location

[JSCBLOG]

Hello,

I've been studying Bluetooth technology for a few weeks. I wanted my first to implement a simple key finder device, as my first project. I was doing some research into what other devices implemented and I saw on a Tile product and other devices is that you can find your phone with the device (by pressing a button).

I found an article from Nordic about Tile using the nRF52810, and it mentions how this is possible:

"The device then uses the smartphone or tablet’s location services to communicate its location information anonymously to the app".

https://www.nordicsemi.com/News/2019/10/Tile-employs-nRF52810-to-provide-ultra-low-power-connectivity

So my question(s) is how can I implement a feature like this, as well as are there any resources from Nordic about this?

Kind regards,

JSC

Thanks for the link. Is there any more information on this or what it is? I don't really get how this answers my question.
