The Linkr map is the primary interface for discovering connectivity. It shows every hotspot that has been shared with the network, updated in real time.

​
What the map represents

The map is not a coverage estimate. It is not a prediction of where connectivity might exist. It is a live view of actual hotspots, shared by real contributors, with real availability data. Every marker on the map represents:
  • A specific physical location
  • A hotspot that someone chose to share
  • Availability data based on continuous observation
If a location has no markers, it means no one has shared a hotspot there, not that connectivity does not exist.

​
Map structure

The map displays hotspots as markers. Each marker includes:
  • Position: the geographic location of the hotspot
  • Status: current availability (online/offline)
  • Reliability: historical availability score
  • Access type: public, limited, or private
You can interact with the map by panning, zooming, and tapping markers for details.

​
Accessing the map

The map is available through:
  • Mobile app: the primary experience, with GPS integration
  • Web app: accessible from any browser at linkrmap.com
Both views show the same data. The mobile app offers additional features like proximity-based discovery and connection management.

​
Map updates

The map updates continuously. When:
  • A new hotspot is shared → it appears on the map
  • A hotspot goes offline → its status updates
  • A hotspot is removed → it disappears from the map
  • Reliability data changes → indicators update
There is no manual refresh required. The map reflects the current state of the network.

​
Geographic scope

The map is global. Every shared hotspot, anywhere in the world, appears on the same map. This means:
  • You can explore connectivity in any country
  • You can plan trips by checking coverage at your destination
  • You can see how the network is distributed worldwide
There are no regional restrictions or separate maps for different areas.

​
Limitations

The map shows what has been contributed, not what exists. If an area has Wi-Fi networks but no one has shared them through Linkr, the map will be empty there. The map cannot show what it does not know about. This is a feature, not a bug. Linkr shows verified, contributed infrastructure, not estimates or scrapes from other sources.
The map is the face of the network. It is only as complete as the contributions it contains. Every hotspot you share makes the map more useful.
