I just bought a SeedStudio SenseCAP T100-E. I only see 1 node in my area on meshmap.net and doubt i will be able to hit it. I will just have to add myself to the mqtt map to let others know a new node exists in my area.

    In my area it’s at least 10 to 1 in terms of actual nodes vs nodes that are uplinked to show up on meshmap. I was out of range of the mesh in the town next door until just a couple weeks ago, still no idea where the node is that is letting me reach into town actually is. Until then get another one and take it hiking with you and a friend, they’re surprisingly useful on their own and you also might see others.

    Plus, if you build it and put your node on the map it might inspire others.

      That’s kind of what I’m hoping that by me putting my node on the map as well. Others will see that there are more nodes on the map available and consider picking one up themselves.
