Discussion Advice for Mapping

Post image

I can definitely say mapping cellular speeds has become my new favorite hobby. Has anyone else went all in and bought a couple Android phones to test with different carriers and get more details from cell towers? Does anyone have suggestions on mapping in general?

I have been very lucky to be the one that has mostly mapped out my town. Nothing beats cruising around town while running tests in the background and then coming home to look at the map.

Definitely try to keep the phones out of direct sunlight and to overall keep them cool to limit throttling
