1. A method for mapping a geographic area, comprising:
collecting, from a set of mobile devices, radio frequency data, the radio frequency data comprising information about a set of network connections in the geographic area;
collecting lidar data for the geographic area;
generating a mapping between the collected radio frequency data and the collected lidar data for the geographic area;
providing a visualization of the mapped radio frequency data and lidar data for the geographic area;
predicting, based on the collected radio frequency data and the collected lidar data, that a network event is going to occur; and
providing an alert related to the predicted network event.
