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.
It’s only pulling anyone with mqtt from my understanding.
Yeah I believe you’re right. Though I didn’t find anyone else locally even going to the highest hill in town

FWIW only about half the nodes around me have location broadcast enabled. The rest don’t appear on the map but they’ll show up if you receive their nodeinfo packets
