LoS Link Check with real LiDAR terrain profile, over a live RF propagation heatmap
GridVisio sits in the same category as WISP coverage mapping tools like TowerCoverage and cnHeat, with a comparable feature set at a more accessible starting price. From here on, we compare GridVisio against other coverage mapping apps in general on the features that matter most.

| Data hosting | EU · GDPR-native (Hetzner, Germany) | Often US-hosted, not always GDPR-native |
| Hardware lock-in | None — any vendor | Varies — some are vendor-locked |
| Sector coverage mapping | ✓ Azimuth / beamwidth / radius | ✓ Varies, often RF propagation modeling |
| LoS / Fresnel zone check | ✓ SRTM / ASTER / USGS + real US LiDAR | Varies by provider |
| RF propagation heatmap | ✓ Pro — ITU-R P.1812, LiDAR-aware | Varies by provider |
| Subscriber import (CSV/XLSX) | ✓ Auto served/unserved | Often a paid add-on |
| BDC / Form 477 export | ✓ Included in Starter+ | Often a per-file charge |
| BEAD grant documentation | ✓ Included | Not always available |
| KMZ export (GIS / Google Earth) | ✓ Included in Starter+ | Often a per-file add-on |
| Serviceability widget | ✓ Pro — LoS-validated lead capture | Varies by provider |

The most common reasons operators choose GridVisio over the alternatives.
Many other apps charge for KMZ, FCC 477/BDC, and address lists. In GridVisio all exports are included — download as many as you need, one predictable monthly fee.
Your subscriber data is stored on Hetzner servers in Germany. GDPR compliance is native — important for European operators and BEAD/EU grant programs.
The Pro widget converts website visitors into qualified leads with real LoS validation. Push leads to Splynx, UISP, or any CRM via webhook or Zapier — no extra charge.
Import your subscriber list via CSV or XLSX. Served/unserved status is calculated automatically. No address-list fees, no add-ons.
Generate FCC BDC availability files and BEAD grant documentation directly from your data. Included in Starter and Pro — no per-file charge.
Works with Ubiquiti, Cambium, MikroTik, Mimosa, Baicells, or any mix. Unlike some competing tools that are locked to a single hardware vendor — and built-in equipment presets for common Ubiquiti, Cambium, and Mimosa gear auto-fill sector RF parameters in one click.
LoS Link Check automatically layers real USGS 3DEP LiDAR height where available in the US — actual treetop and rooftop height, not a category estimate. The Pro RF Propagation Heatmap (ITU-R P.1812) uses the same real terrain and land-cover data to predict signal strength across your whole coverage area.
