What is Helium Mobile Discovery Mapping?

Helium Mobile Discovery Mapping is a feature that allows subscribers to earn rewards by sharing their location data. This data helps the Helium Mobile Network understand where subscribers are using the network and identify opportunities for efficient enhancement.

How Does Discovery Mapping Work?
