airpods does not have gps

airpods only means of communication is bluetooth so about a 50meters range


 so they have no idea what their location are and a around 50meters range of communicating with your iphone


the way find my works in terms of airpods is that the iphone use it's own position  last time it had contact with the airpods


You can see AirPods Max in Find My for up to 18 hours inside their Smart Case. Outside

of their Smart Case, you can see them for 72 hours.
