- Next you will be prompted to select the physical location of the BluFi where it is being deployed. Location is assigned by GPS and can be changed manually by dragging the pin in order to be more accurate
- Next you will be prompted to take a Selfie of the BluFi. This is an optional step and is recommended so that others can easily identify the location of the BluFi after deployment
