I’ve been having fun travelling around and finding mesh coverage. It’s like my own version of Polemon Go.
Be careful with wardriving apps. The UK mesh is currently suffering from a ton of spam messages generated by one of these.
Before connecting any app or device to the mesh:
- Take a minute to understand what you're doing
- If you are unsure, rather choose an option that does not transmit anything over the mesh.
When you consider the limited bandwidth and the cheap hardware, it's a miracle that the network works at all, even when everybody behaves.
with meshmapper, luckily there's an option for busier regions admin to disable "hybrid" mode and only allow for passive mode which doesn't bog down the mesh as much. I'm not sure if mapme.sh is able to be controlled by each region though.
been swapping between mapme.sh and meshmapper. More people in my region are using meshmapper but I don't like that the app requires google play to be on my device while using it.
