How to Find Lost AirPods on a Map:

If you have previously set up Find My for your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch that you have used with your AirPods, then Find My is automatically enabled for your AirPods. So if you misplaced your AirPods and they are close by, then you can easily use Find My to find lost AirPods.
