Field notes
The map uses two visual channels at each break: LED count communicates wave size, while color communicates quality, with the page defining a range from red “Bad” to purple “Perfect.” Setup happens through a phone-based Wi-Fi connection, after which the device is described as operating without an app or subscription. The listed launch inventory is unusually concrete: ten East Coast maps, ten California maps, and ten North America maps, all currently shown as out of stock.
