I recently checked out Meshcore because I live in the outskirts of Ottawa, and the city has completely switched to it from Meshtastic. I was impressed with how big the mesh is, and how well I was able to communicate with someone clear across to the other side! I was on a beach, connecting direct to a repeater 30km away, and they were recieving me another 20 km from there. Very cool.
Anyway, I learned about meshmapper.net from an active Ottawa mesh community member, and dev of the site, Mr. Alders0n.
Been having fun wardriving the area and mapping the mesh’s reach into the outskirts.
Just made this app, which is a portal to easily access the war driving web app, and the mesh maps, and added a way to pin the city instead of trying to navigate the globe map to select it… yeah I know I can just add shortcuts to my browser for both, but this was more fun :)
Why was the repo archived?
The people that run meshmapper released their own native android app and blocked access to meshmapper.net from my portal app.
its dead already… i approached the dev of meshmapper about this, just becuase i thought he’d think its cool, but nope… they blocked access to meshmapper through my app lol. oh well, was fun and convenient for me while it lasted.
they have their own app now, but no source code, so i wont touch it until there is.
