I can't get mine to work with the IOTeX part.

Geodnet has said time and time again that this isn’t a mining device.

This is a device you buy when you need to add RTK services to an existing device.

There is no first-to-fix requirement for the initial hexes that reward 200 geod; those are guaranteed to the owner and you should think about them as a rebate on the Geopulse purchase.

In general you should not expect to ROI the Geopulse. There are no guaranteed additional quests so don’t assume it will pay off eventually.

For the original question, the device definitely needs work. My original one broke and I needed to get it exchanged, and the firmware update process on the Geopulse is clunky, and they have an extra GNSS update you need to occasionally run to fix the GPS/RTK problem.

I will say this, I took advantage of the last quest missions they had going on (6/15-7/15). I didn'tget as many mission completed as possible (I mainly travel on weekends for business), but managed to snag $125 worth of tokens. For a $150 device thats not bad. I wonder when the next quests go live 🤔

how does it connect to the phone? thinking to get one

It seems almost impossible to transfer to a new device. It pairs, sure - but my old phone showed RTK no problem but my new it won’t ever switch off GPS mode. I’m not sure the repeater is working either.

Feels like a waste of money at this moment.

It works great if you have a use case. If they could only make it smaller.

This is a very useful device if you actually need a GPS/RTK repeater. Other than that it really serves little purpose to most people in DePIN.
