PingPoint vs CosmoViewer

Have you ever wished you could map network latency along a road or trail, but couldn’t find an app for it? PingPoint lets you visualize ping performance on the go in real locations, so you can spot the fastest signal areas while you navigate. Record ping sessions while driving, hiking, or traveling to understand connectivity for a route, trail, or specific area. PingPoint plots each ping on a map as colored blips from green to red, showing good to poor latency. Choose your ping interval and target hosts to test different network conditions and compare results across locations. PingPoint is built for IT professionals, network analysts, road warriors, digital nomads, and anyone technically inclined who wants to measure, diagnose, and graph connectivity while moving. I built PingPoint while living on the road — at the edges of cellular service, I was tired of ping tools that told me how fast my connection was but never where. So I made one that maps it. Common uses: - Find the best connectivity regions by mapping network latency along your route or trail (cellular or mobile hotspot) - Review connection stability over time using the timeline graph (cellular or Wi-Fi) - Map the latency of regions around your home Wi-Fi - Improve responsiveness in congested networks by pinging in the background while using other apps (cellular or mobile hotspot) - Test latency to a host similar to standard network ping tools FEATURES - Link Health tab for a real-time read on connection quality, pairing ICMP ping with a TCP latency probe - Dashboard with live GPS accuracy readings, plus map and graph views for latency testing - Map view showing all pings and latency information at recorded locations - Heatmap mode that composites your pings into smooth latency blobs for clearer coverage at a glance, toggled right on the map - Filter map pings by latency to immediately see faster and slower areas - Session-based results with min, max, mean/average, and round-trip statistics, plus graphs per session - Quick controls to switch ping intervals - Tap an individual map blip to view the recorded latency and GPS accuracy for that ping - Copy coordinates for any ping location - Navigate to any ping location using Apple Maps - Export ping sessions as GPX routes LIMITATIONS - The dashboard timeline graph is not interactive yet - IPv4 only for now (send feedback if you need IPv6 sooner) - Ping packet sizes are not configurable yet (send feedback if you need this sooner) - Location accuracy depends on your device’s built-in GPS and using a third-party GPS receiver can improve accuracy reported to PingPoint. ON THE ROADMAP - Better iPad layouts - macOS compatibility - Improved timeline view with scroll, zoom, and interactivity - More detailed per-ping information and richer session statistics - Additional charts and graphs - Configurable ping packet sizes and payload - Enhanced session organization (naming, tagging, flagging, and more) - Location-based ping intervals (ping only after moving a set distance) - Throughput testing - Apple Watch support PRIVACY POLICY All recorded location data stays offline and encrypted on your device. PingPoint uses no third-party analytics or advertising frameworks, and it does not transmit, distribute, or sell your data. Ever.

CosmoViewerNG is a companion viewer and control app for Cosmostreamer devices. Connect your iPhone or iPad to the same local network as your device, discover it automatically, or enter its host address manually. Once connected, CosmoViewerNG displays the live video stream, camera status, telemetry, and device controls in a fullscreen interface. Features: - Automatic local network discovery - Manual connection by host, IP address, or port - Live video viewing with support for primary and secondary streams - Camera overlay with recording status, exposure values, storage status, and telemetry - Device settings and configuration tools - Camera controls for supported Cosmostreamer device types - TestFlight-ready iPhone and iPad interface CosmoViewerNG is designed for users of Cosmostreamer devices and requires a supported device on the same network.
