I bought a HiveMapper (with my own money, dont worry) just to give this a go. Packaging, unit build quality and actual app seem well built, but this is clearly an early released product with a lot of flaws. If you have a vehicle with an Athermic (polarized) windshield, this pretty much will not work in your vehicle, the app lacks granuality in control, and there's no way to use cellular A-GPS to refine the poor quality GNSS signal from the devices microscopic GPS antenna sandwiched under the 915MHz LoRa board.
