What GPS tracking device did you use?

OK, here's something I've been wondering about. Is the OP actually asking about tracking devices for locating a downed quad, or a GPS module such as those being used on the new Betaflight Rescue Mode feature?
 
However, GPS is now widely used for any kind of situations and the good thing about having one is you feel secured of anything that might gonna lost.

No, it's a physical game that uses gps, either on an app or gps handheld, to guide you to an associated set of coordinates. Then you have to search for the container, like a scavenger hunt.

An example, I have one that will lead you to the back lot of a strip mall where broken up concrete was dumped years ago. You have to move around the area searching for a large container. Not easy in itself (3.5 rating out of 5 for terrain) but finding the container isn't all that hard.

Then you open it and you find the 5 out of 5 rating for mental difficulty. In a 3.5 gal bucket is about 100 golf balls and one of them has a small container placed inside it with a strip of paper to sign. And you can't just dump it out or the balls will fall in the books and crannies of the surrounding concrete.

My first geocaching I placed was a cedar log that I drilled a hole into one side and placed a container in and placed that in the woods.

A third example (not mine) is a pop can sized container placed in a drain pipe below a castle here in the area. The cace brings geocachers that didn't know it was here, both local or travelers.
