A New Live Global Meshtastic Node Map - Meshmap.net

For all you Meshtastic nuts out there we needed a central point where our nodes will show their position on a map. Of course in a doomsday environment where the internet goes down, this would be useless, but for now it provides a great tool to see who's nearby and assist with placing repeaters and routers at strategic points around the world.

Would like to see more Meshtastic videos? Yes please :)

Meshtastic seems to be taking off to an amazing extent.
I'm about to start deploying several solar nodes in a mesh to repeat weather data and slow-scan pictures from mountains 37 km away and 2, 000 meters higher. Should take 4 or 5 intermediate nodes based on solar garden lights.

I believe this needs to be spread. Off grid long range encrypted is the way to go

Great map with auto updating. You mousovered my Brighton node after you clicked on the node in Hove :-) Am looking forward to plenty more exciting Meshtastic videos from you !

[Adam-gsq]

Just discovered Meshtastic today and watched a couple of videos. Yes, it is something I'd like to see you cover more of.

I have 4 nodes running in Victoria, Australia. Unfortunately it hasn’t fully started here. Though I’m getting over 40-50km distance from home and works 70-85% of the time on sending messages through. Can’t wait till the audio versions appear!

Very nice! Thanks for reporting on it!

A couple of years ago another local ham and I set up a 4 node mesh in our town. One at his house, another at my rental house about 2.5 to 3 miles ENE of him, another solar powered node I temporarily placed in a public park ~2.5 miles NNW of my rental, then a 4th node at my house another 3 miles NNW of that one. We really needed more nodes in between, but we did manage to pass one whole message from his house to mine.

I've been meaning to ask the town if our local club (K5SRC) can mount self-contained nodes on public property and/or utility easements.

THANK YOU. I was using the canvas map, but it sucks. This map is Much better

Hey I saw my node out in the middle of nowhere in California. nice. However I don't plan on using MQTT other than that one test I did. Just a personal preference as I believe it defeats the purpose of being an off grid communications platform.

[chrisoutdoors]

thanks for the video bud, im hoping to push meshtastic in the hull area

[alanreader]

Me and a friend in Ireland wants to set one up. ;) A hamshack hotline

[CapnBry]

I just found this a few days ago too, great to know if someone can mesh with me (nobody yet!). Hope it gathers some developers to keep it growing

[George-vtrf]

This looks like a great ideea, if you want to plan something in advance. But personally I can't imagine what :)
The usecase I can relate with, for the lora communication devices, is in case of disaster, as mentioned in this video. Natural disaster or human made, like war. And for both situation, I don't see the benefit of a node gps position. Especially in the war scenario, this will be a security issue.
Just my taught. Keep up with the videos!

The meshmap is not live. It shows nodes as well that haven't been online since days. It's helping anyway.
I would like to have the information if a node uses 433 or 868.

[KH]

There seems to be some missing info or I have not seen, can you use different modes like long-fast talking to long-slow, etc. if my device is configured differently will it connect to the mesh?

[DannyMaas]

So, you look at the MQTT server from Meshtastic. But do you look on channel or topic as well? The standard msh-topic is overwhelming and annoying besides your first few tests, and there are channels and topics made each new day.
How do you get them all on this map?

[ethzero]

Shout out to Lewis @RingwayManchester who's also been covering this and thanks to this video might nudge me buy a node to bridge a void between Milton Keynes and Aylesbury in the UK 😊

[glmn-ron]

I just ordered some LoRa kit, it looks interesting. APRS on steroids...

[AdrianBoyko]

Wow, absolutely nothing in the entire state of Arizona 😕

[X-RADIO]

Maybe I'm missing something, quite possible.
Without GPS in the Meshtastic Device, how does it know your position.?
