    To some extent this exists. You can attach a Meshtastic radio with GPS (Seeed T-1000E, for intance) to anything you want. Then you can request the location of that radio. If it is accessible through the mesh, you can find out where it is. The problems are going to be coverage and battery life, but it is possible.

      I use this setup with my T1000, accurate to 4 to 6 m. Battery life about 2 days. Fully meets my needs. I have now also purchased a meshcore Wio L1.
