Two ways a Google Find Hub tracker looked unanswered after a refresh:
- A fetch reads only the last week of Google's reports, so a tracker nobody had passed for
longer came back with nothing. The newest older report is now added when the week has none.
- When the owner's own phone sees the tracker, Google answers with a place name ("Home") and no
coordinates, and those reports were dropped. The newest one is now kept, and the map card
shows it ("Google: Home, 5 minutes ago") when it is newer than the position on the card.

Two cases where a Google Find Hub tracker looked as if Google had not answered:
Last Updated: 2 hours ago · Google: Home, 5 minutes ago.No schema change. One new string, in all locales.
Found on a DIY tag whose Google side looked dead: the service held a "Home" answer from that day and a week-old report from another phone, and the app showed neither.
Tested:
ReportSourcesTestandExtraSourcesApiTest. I broke the choice of the newest older report on purpose and the test failed.testDebugUnitTestandadd_strings.py --checkpass.Not tested yet:
