However, your mobile data has a cap, and you wish to conserve it for emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>Your best bet is to rely on a free Wi-Fi hotspot, although those can be hard to find depending on where exactly you are. If this sounds like something you face on a regular basis, then <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cafewifi.com\/places\/California\/San+Francisco\/Mojo-Bicycle-Cafe-ep6qg\">Cafe Wi-Fi<\/a> will prove to be really handy.<\/p>\n<p>Available as a web-based service, with an Android app currently in the works, Cafe Wi-Fi is a map that<strong> shows off any available Wi-Fi hotspots at any given area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Much like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/airport-wifi-passwords\/\">Airport Wi-Fi<\/a> map, Cafe Wi-Fi relies on a combination of user contributions and third-party sources like FourSquare to populate its map with Wi-Fi hotspots.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wifi-hotspots-cafewifi\/01-wifi-hotspots.jpg\" width=\"1909\" height=\"941\" alt=\"wifi hotspot\"><\/figure>\n<p>Besides <strong>listing down available Wi-Fi hotspots in an area<\/strong>, Cafe Wi-Fi has also taken advantage of the crowdsource-nature of the service to provide users with <strong>more details about the hotspots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>All hotspots are color-coded depending on the quality of the Wi-Fi connection, with <strong>green being excellent while red represents a poor quality<\/strong> hotspot. Grey colored ones, on the other hand, are <strong>hotspots that have yet to be rated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wifi-hotspots-cafewifi\/color-coded-wifi-signals.jpg\" alt=\"color coded wifi signals\" width=\"1388\" height=\"734\"><\/figure>\n<p>Aside from connection quality, other information that can be found about the hotspot includes <strong>some standard location information, as well as connection speed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wifi-hotspots-cafewifi\/02-location-information.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"615\" alt=\"location information\"><\/figure>\n<p>The other cool feature of Cafe Wi-Fi is its <strong>ability to give you directions to the hotspot<\/strong> of choice. Tapping on the <strong>\u201cGet Directions\u201d<\/strong> button will cause Cafe Wi-Fi to boot up your device\u2019s default map application and <strong>set the destination to the hotspot\u2019s location<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If there is <strong>one major drawback<\/strong> that Cafe Wi-Fi has, it would have to be the fact that the <strong>map can prove to be underpopulated<\/strong> in its current form. As Cafe Wi-Fi <strong>relies on user submitted information<\/strong> to update its map, some places may contain little to no Wi-Fi hotspots listed, while other places may be highly populated with available hotspots.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, this particular <strong>problem tends to be solved over time<\/strong> as more people are made aware of the service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"recommended_top\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Read Also:<\/strong>\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/funny-wifi-names\/\">35 Unusual WiFi Names You Don\u2019t Often See<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture this scenario: you\u2019re currently exploring your new city, relying on your mobile data to get you through the day.
