TTN Mapper

" summary

A crowd-sourced coverage map for The Things Network that actually shows what was built and how well it works: a LAMP/Python backend ingests packets via HTTP and MQTT integrations, filters bad GPS, and pre-renders pre-rendered slippy map tiles with multiple visualization methods (circles, grids, radar plots, alpha shapes). The database contains about 3 million data points from roughly 8500 unique gateways, across six continents; it functions but faces clear scalability and accuracy limits and plans open sourcing.
