# How to get involved

Everyone is invited to join our network and track flights from your available chosen location.

### Ready to jump in? 

1. Check out our [live network map](https://wingbits.com/map) with the Stations layer on to see if your preferred location is available.  You can also see the live (blue) stations in your region to check their weekly $WINGS rewards.
2. Decide which hardware station would serve you best from [Hardware needed](/get-started/hardware-needed.md), along with the information on any FAQ pages within.
3. Go through the order process and claim your location using [How to claim your station location](/get-started/how-to-claim-your-station-location.md).\
   \&#xNAN;*Pre-orders are currently open and* [*approved hardware*](/project/wingbits-approved-hardware-program.md) *started shipping in Q1 2025. You can* [*check with your preferred distributor*](/project/wingbits-approved-distributors.md) *for an up-to-date lead time. As part of the pre-order process your location area will be reserved for 6 months, from purchase date, so that you have time to receive the station and get it online.* 
4. There are no special skills or knowledge required. However there will be some set up needed, once your station arrives, which our simple guides will walk you through.
