The Map tab is the heart of the app. It shows the hotspots in the New York City dataset as markers you can browse and tap.
The app is invitation-only beta. The map covers New York City only.

​
Opening the map

The map is the default view when you open the app. From anywhere else, tap the Map tab to return.

​
What you see

The map displays:
  • Hotspot markers: each marker is a hotspot
  • Your location: shown if you have granted location access
  • Pan: drag with one finger to move around
  • Zoom: pinch to zoom in or out
  • Search: jump to a specific address or place

​
Viewing hotspot details

Tap any marker to open its details:
  • Name and location
  • Speed (Mbps), signal strength, and network type
  • Security and rating
  • The contributor’s note

​
Filtering

Use the filter controls to narrow what you see — for example by network type or risk level. Filters help you focus on the hotspots most relevant to you.
The map shows the hotspots in the dataset. If an area looks empty, it means no hotspot has been contributed there yet. Live availability status is on the roadmap — see Product status.
