By connecting via Bluetooth to a TTGO Lora 32 (433Mhz) it is able to receive the radio signal directly from the probe, representing in a map the position, the position of the smartphone and all the data received. MySondy GO for Apple Watch works both as a standalone app and as a companion to the iPhone app for an integrated experience.
