I doubt BT is the right way to locate a device, it's far better for being located (FindMy-style).

Wi-Fi is better for positioning since BSSIDs are (mostly) static and APs don't move around.

On top of that, BLE usually uses random addresses - so it won't be of much help knowing that you were around CC:B9:AF:E8:AE at 10:05 AM - since that address is likely random.
