Beginner Question Thread! 2023 Edition

My noob question of the day - Can I get some clarification on all the Metr versions?

There’s:

  • Metr Pro (core module required for everything)
  • Metr Pro CAN (same as above, but frees up UART port)
  • Metr Pro CAN + SD + GPS (uses it’s own GPS instead of your phone and logs data to sd card. still have to access logs after the ride and download to phone app?)
  • Metr Pro LTE (provides internet to one of the above. ?? does this mean you never have to use your phone at all? access directly from web? is this like a “find my lost esk8” type thing?)

I"m not sure I grasp the value add. From the LTE thread it seems it doesn’t transmit full records over LTE, so what is the big benefit?
