lost my phone, can google find my device still locate it if it's off?

Left my Pixel in a taxi last night. Find My Device shows a last location from about 9pm and nothing since. Battery was low. Is there anything else I can try from the web?

Some newer Pixels can still be found for a few hours after they switch off or the battery dies, but only if that was turned on in the Find My Device settings beforehand. Older ones just stop at the last location. From the web you can still mark it lost and put a message with another number on the lock screen, so if the driver or the next passenger turns it on they know who to call. Don't hit erase yet, once it's erased you can't locate it anymore. Honestly the taxi company is your best bet, call them with the time and pickup point.
