Mapme.sh is a community-built coverage map for MeshCore. You connect your device to your phone over Bluetooth through a browser app, and the site logs your GPS position with signal strength data as you move. It aggregates everything into color-coded hex cells on a map, from green for strong signal down to blue for barely there. You earn points for mapping new hexes, and a leaderboard tracks top contributors. Privacy controls let you choose between real-time visibility, a 3-hour delay, or full ghost mode with a 24-hour delay. The site comes from the HanseMesh community in Germany, so it's bilingual in German and English.

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.
