All publication parameters are configurable. • Add/Remove one or more subscription addresses on a model. • Create own AppKeys, or generate them using the builtin crypto-safe generator. • Bind/unbind an Application Key to a specific model for full granular control of your networks' security. • Explore the nodes' capabilities to view all elements, models, provisioning time and date, Manufacturer and available vendor data. • Set the Default TTL on a per-node basis. • Manage global AppKey list on a node. • And much more... Hardware support: - This version of the app is capable of communicating with any BLE devices that speak Bluetooth Mesh! - We recommend nRF5 devices with our nRF SDK for Mesh or nRF Connect SDK.

Miss it and you are off route. NavFocus: Repeated reminders at your chosen frequency until you complete the turn. Plus haptic patterns, voice guidance, and transit alerts all working together. PRIVACY FIRST NavFocus does not collect or store your location data on any server. Location is processed on your device in real time.
