The Hotspot Guide software is an easy-to-use tool that communicates hotspot coverage to consumers. The software includes an update function that securely downloads up-to-date lists of hotspots from a server. The hotspot information is stored on the device. The user can therefore locate a hotspot even if their device is not connected to the Internet.

The Hotspot Guide displays information in the user's favourite browser with all the flexibility and power of modern web technology. The Hotspot Guide comes with a Public WLAN Service Tutorial, a Frequently Asked Questions section and Troubleshooting Guide enabling self diagnosis and correction of device configuration problems. The operator is free to modify this information and to add information, such as pricing or promotions.
