EV lawnmower marking high light at trade show. Be the star of the neighborhood. If they put lifepo in them would be better. Not going to use in winter in most cases. Setup to use as a backup emergency inverter energy supply - dual purpose. Just an idea.

You can’t even buy toy drone if it uses any type of gps - your phone because they will track you now. Same would apply to anything on gps for mapping.
GPS doesn't track anything,
they broadcast their own position and the device itself triangulates it's own location if you have more than 3 satellites available..
Do you really think these decades old satellites are there connecting to billions of devices and doing math for them? lmao
All the gov/cell carrier tracking done on phone is via cell tower triangulation. If your GPS is turned on it can be requested to give triangulation info to certain services in the apps etc.. but that isn't relied upon at all and it's easily blocked /spoofed
sim cards have their own chips in them, by that I mean processors. They're their own computing devices. they run micro java with microservices only controlled by the phone carriers. These can't be written to or anything via the phone. They're updated by the carrier and interfaced by the carrier
Phone operating systems can request certain services via the sim card OS.. like phone and texting. This can be allowed or rejected (by the carrier)
The sim is generally always on unless it has no power, which makes the soldered on sims today make more sense.
This stuff is generally only done in USA as well and other countries take note and start adding it slowly. The sim cards people didn't fight against 20 years ago really destroyed handhelds.
Buying a toy quadricopter (I'm assuming you mean) can have a GPS on it, once again the device triangulates itself, no data is sent to anyone. Plenty of GPS modules exist they're very easy to work with and interface. One of the great things USA did was make those satellites publicly available and so easy to use.
GPS mapping is the same thing. You get coordinates and you overlap it onto some drawing (in this case the map of the world) and as long as you put the coordinates in the right place, you will see where you are. No data is sent to anyone.
This is why all "GPS + maps" are usable offline. All you need to do is download the map data.
Google maps has added that functionality like 10 years ago, you don't need cell services nor a sim card nor internet to use the GPS & maps (assuming you downloaded it prior) and plenty of other apps allow you to do it too. You'll need the GPS turned on though (obviously)
That’s exactly what they did with emissions crap on diesels.
EPA now shuts down your business.
Vehicle corporate lobbyists pushed their way into legislation (as they do) that vehicle size has a max "emissions" it can output to kill off smaller trucks etc.
That's why everything is 3 times the size. Need to be big if it has X emissions
