Mapping Spain is in full swing! 🇪🇸
NetMonster Crowd matches crowdsourced data against the country’s public cell tower database. But because that registry isn’t complete, our algorithm steps in to fill the gaps. 👇
Here’s a tower missing from the official database. With enough measurements, the algorithm pinned it down to within 430 meters.
Zoom in, search within the circle, and there it is! One manual confirmation and it’ exact location is added to database.
Thanks for contributing! 🙌

5G cell IDs, decoded: gNB length is now on website
The NetMonster operator directory now shows the gNB length for 5G networks. The app needs this number to split a 5G cell ID correctly, and Android can't tell it on its own.
Database update progress is now shown in an in-app toast message. If a download fails, NetMonster will automatically retry once an internet connection is restored.
