How accurate is the meshmap?

2 years ago by beastlykings to c/meshtastic

I'm still fighting with Amazon to get my first pair of devices delivered, I went with heltec v3s to get started.

But looking at the meshmap.net, it's very very sparse around me. How likely is it that the are nodes that aren't on the map?

Hopefully I can check it out myself soon!

My area shows two nodes on meshmap, my heltec v3 sees 100 nodes, of which 50 are on the map in the meshtastic app. Different locations probably have different results, but I'd say that you'll be pleased when your nodes arrive, I was!

So far no nodes other than the two I bought. I got the upgraded longer antenna, and went out on my second story balcony in a suburban area, nothing.

Looks like I'll be the change I want to see in the world haha.
