This may be a stupid question but can I use the Drop Pods Locator Beacon to help my jump packs deep strike in? Can the same be said for Land Speeders?

Yes. But the units must deep strike within 6" of the beacon.

Yes, it's only Teleport Homers which only work for (surprise!) teleporters. Locator Beacons can be used for any type of Deep Striker.

Just remember that the beacons have to be on the table at the start of the turn, so no deepstriking in on the same turn as the pod.

Also remember that you are not given premission to premeasure the 6 inches. So you have to place the deepstriking model first, then measure to see if it is in range. If it is out of range then it will scatter as normal.
