Kaart ja teekonnapunktid
Kaardiekraan näitab kärgvõrgu sõlmede geograafilisi asukohti koos jagatud teekonnapunktidega.
Kaardi vaade
Kaardil kuvatakse:
- Sõlmede asukohad — värvilised markerid iga sõlme asukoha kohta
- Waypoints — shared points of interest
- Teie asukoht — teie praegune GPS asukoht
Node Markers
Iga asukohta teavitav sõlm kuvatakse sõlme kiibi markerina, mis kuvab sõlme lühinime. Kiip on värvitud sõlme enda identiteedivärviga (stabiilne värv, mis on tuletatud sõlme numbrist) – sama kiip, mida kasutatakse sõlmede loendis, seega näeb sõlm kõikjal ühesugune välja. Markeri värv ei kodeeri võrguühenduseta/võrguühenduseta olekut. Kui sõlme asukoht reaalajas uueneb, pulseerib selle marker lühidalt. Nearby markers are clustered as you zoom out.
Kaardi juhtnupud
- Suumi – näpista või +/- nuppude kasutamine
- Pan — drag to explore
- Center — tap the location button to center on your position
- Sõlme puudutamine – üksikasjade kuvamiseks puuduta sõlmel
The floating toolbar provides quick access to the compass, the map type and layers pickers, node filters, Site Planner, and location tracking. Põhjasuuna muutmiseks puuduta kompassi või praeguse asukoha keskpunkti seadmiseks asukohanuppu. On Google Play builds a refresh button joins them while a network layer is showing; on F-Droid and Desktop, refresh a network layer from its own row in the layers sheet instead.

Filtering the Map
Tap the filter button in the floating toolbar to open Filter map. Display controls what is drawn: Only Favorites, Show Waypoints, Show Precision Circles, and a slider that hides nodes not heard from recently. Node roles is a chip per device role, plus All to show every role; a selected chip means that role is shown. Nodes narrows the set further with Hide offline nodes, Only show direct nodes, Signed only, Encrypted only, Exclude MQTT, Show ignored nodes, and Include unknown — the same rules as the node list’s filter toggles.
A dot on the filter button means at least one filter is hiding something — check it before concluding the mesh is quiet. Turning Show Waypoints off hides every waypoint, including your own. Show ignored nodes adds them to the map rather than showing only them — unlike the node list’s Only show ignored Nodes.
Teekonnapunkt
Waypoints are shared points of interest, visible to everyone on your mesh.
Loo teekonnapunkt
Your radio must be connected — the map ignores a touch & hold while it is not, because saving a waypoint means broadcasting it.
- Touch & hold the map at the desired location.
- Sisestage nimi ja valikuline kirjeldus.
- Vali teekonnapunktile ikoon/emoji.
- Puuduta Saada jagamiseks kärgvõrku.
Waypoints always broadcast to the whole mesh on the primary channel. Unlike a message, a waypoint cannot be addressed to one channel or sent as a direct message.
Waypoint Properties
| Property | Kirjeldus |
|---|---|
| Nimi | Lühike identifikaator (max 29 tähemärki) |
| Kirjeldus | Optional longer description |
| Ikoon | Visuaalse markeri emotikon kaardil |
| Lukustatud | If locked, only the creator can edit or delete |
| Expiration | Optional auto-remove date and time |
| Geopiire | Optional enter/exit alert area — see Waypoint Geofences |
Waypoint Expiration
Waypoints can be set to expire automatically:
- Never (default) — waypoint remains until manually deleted
- Timed — pick a specific date and time; the waypoint is automatically removed once that time passes. Kasulik ajutiste märkide, näiteks kogunemispunktide, ohtude või kohtumispaikade jaoks.
Aegunud teekonnapunktid peidetakse kaardilt automaatselt, et need ekraani ei risustaks. The expiration countdown is based on the absolute time you picked, not a duration from when the waypoint was created or received.
Teekonnapunktide geopiirded
Iga teekonnapunkt saab määratleda ka geopiirde – hoiatusala –, et teid või teisi teavitataks, kui sõlm sinna siseneb või sealt lahkub:
- Määra geopiirde raadius eelmääratletud kiipide hulgast (või keelamiseks Väljas) või puuduta kohandatud ristkülikukujulise ala joonistamiseks Määra kaardile ala.
- Kui piirkond on määratud, lülita sisse Teavita sisenemisel ja/või Teavita väljumisel.
- Soovi korral luba Ainult lemmikud, et piirata märguandeid oma lemmiksõlmedega.
Kuna teekonnapunktid (ja nende geopiirded) edastatakse kogu kärgvõrgule, teavitatakse vaikimisi ainult loojat. If someone else shares a geofenced waypoint with you, its detail view offers a Notify me of crossings opt-in so you can also receive enter/exit alerts for it.
Managing Waypoints
- Tap a waypoint to see its name, description, and geofence radius. On Google Play builds the first tap opens the marker’s info bubble — tap the bubble to open the waypoint itself
- Locked waypoints can only be changed on the mesh by the node that locked them
- Unlocked waypoints can be edited by any mesh member while connected to a radio — saving re-broadcasts the waypoint
- Confirming a delete removes your own copy. To remove it from everyone else’s map too, select Delete for everyone in the delete dialog; that box appears only for a waypoint you may change (unlocked, or locked by you) and only while you are connected
Kaardikihid
Tap the layers icon on the map to open Manage Map Layers. It imports your own overlays in .kml, .kmz, or GeoJSON format, including KMZ ground overlays (georeferenced images, such as exported topo or aerial tiles), which drape at their stated bounds. Add one by picking a file with Add Layer, opening a file with Meshtastic, or sharing it into the app from another app. Add Network Layer instead takes a name and an https:// URL pointing at a KML or GeoJSON file (http:// also works on Desktop, but on Android only for localhost); that layer then carries its own refresh button in the sheet. On Google Play builds the toolbar’s refresh button re-fetches every visible network layer at once.
Imporditud kihid on loetletud koos lülitiga iga kihi kuvamiseks/peitmiseks ja valikuga selle eemaldamiseks. Each layer — imported or built-in overlay — carries its own opacity slider while it is switched on, so an overlay can be faded back rather than only switched off. This works on the Google Play build, the F-Droid build, and Desktop, which shares the same layer store and file picker.
Saidi planeerija
Asukoha planeerija hindab saatja raadiosageduslikku leviala ja joonistab selle kaardile värvikoodiga kihina. Ava see kaardihalduselemendist või sõlme detaillehelt valiku Hinnatud katvus kaudu (kuvatakse ainult teadaoleva asukohaga sõlmede puhul). Konfi saatja (asukoht, sagedus, saatja võimsus, antenni võimendus ja kõrgus), vastuvõtja (tundlikkus, kõrgus) ja simulatsioonivalikud (maksimaalne ulatus, kõrge eraldusvõimega maastik, värvipalett) ning seejärel käivita hinnang. Like map layers, Site Planner works on both the Google Play and F-Droid builds, where the finished estimate is drawn on the map as a coverage overlay. On Desktop the same form is shown but the planner opens in your browser; to bring the estimate onto the map, click the transmitter pin in the browser, choose the planner’s GeoJSON export, then add the downloaded file under Manage Map Layers with Add Layer. Use the GeoJSON export, not the KML one — the KML is a ground-overlay image this map cannot draw.
Position Sharing
Enabling Position Sharing
Sõlm jagab oma GPS asukohta järgmise alusel:
- Broadcast Interval — share the position on a fixed timer
- Smart Position — share only once you have moved far enough; Smart Interval sets the shortest gap between broadcasts and Smart Distance how far you must move
- Fixed Position — publish a latitude, longitude, and altitude you enter by hand instead of the GPS reading
- GPS Mode (Physical Hardware) — GPS enabled, disabled, or not present on this hardware; offered only while Fixed Position is off
Configure position behavior in Settings → Device configuration → Position. The screen is only reachable while your radio is connected, and saving it reboots the radio. For the full field list, see Settings — Radio & User.
Privacy Considerations
🔒 Privaatsus: asukoha andmed levitatakse kõigile sinu kanali sõlmedele. Kui sa ei soovi, et sinu asukohta jagataks, keela GPS asukohta seadetes või kasuta fikseeritud/võltsasukohta. To keep sharing a position without pinpointing yourself, edit the channel in Settings → Channels, turn Precise location off, and set the slider beneath it — the channel then publishes an approximate area, shown as ± a distance, instead of an exact point.
Kaardi allikad
Every build offers a base map picker from the map toolbar. Google Play builds open on Google’s own map types; F-Droid and Desktop builds open on MapLibre’s vector styles. Further down the base map picker, all three offer the same raster base maps:
| Base map | Sõnumid |
|---|---|
| Normal / Satellite / Terrain / Hybrid | Google Play only — Google’s own map types |
| Liberty | Default on F-Droid and Desktop. Vector street map |
| Positron | F-Droid and Desktop only. Low-contrast vector map; keeps node markers legible over it |
| Tume | F-Droid and Desktop only. Vector map suited to dark themes |
| OpenStreetMap | Classic raster street tiles |
| OpenTopoMap | Raster topographic |
| USGS Topo / USGS Imagery | US coverage only |
| Esri Topo / Esri Imagery | Topographic and satellite imagery |
Overlays can be toggled on top of any base map, from the layers sheet:
- Weather radar — NOAA NEXRAD reflectivity (US coverage)
- Hillshade — terrain relief from an online tile source, on F-Droid and Desktop only; Google Play draws hillshade from downloaded offline terrain instead. Useful for understanding why a link fails, since LoRa range is limited by terrain
Adding your own tile source
Any XYZ tile endpoint can be added as a base map, on every flavor and on desktop. Open Manage Custom Tile Sources at the foot of the base map picker and paste a URL template using {z}, {x} and {y} — plus {s} if the provider uses rotating subdomains. A national mapping service, for example:
https://wmts.geo.admin.ch/1.0.0/ch.swisstopo.pixelkarte-farbe/default/current/3857/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpeg
On Android the template must use https://; plain http:// works only for localhost.
Tiles are cached on disk, so panning does not re-download what you were just looking at.
On Android, the same screen also imports a local .mbtiles archive for fully offline use.
On F-Droid, select a vector base map first — Liberty, Positron, or Dark — since a download is defined against a vector style and Start Download stays disabled over a raster one. Frame the area you want on screen, then tap Start Download in the layers sheet: that creates a paused pack covering the current zoom plus two levels deeper. Press play on the pack’s row to actually download it. If the offline database cannot be opened, the section says offline maps are unavailable and Start Download stays disabled.
On Google Play, the layers sheet’s Offline Manager section downloads its own offline regions instead — water, roads and administrative boundaries extracted from the public Protomaps basemap dataset, drawn directly as map shapes rather than raster tiles. Frame the area you want, tap Start Download, and once it finishes flip Show on map to draw it (it’s off by default so it never surprises you by covering up the live map). You can still import a pre-made .mbtiles archive here too, as before. Desktop has neither, though the offline terrain described next does work there.
Offline terrain
Hillshade and elevation contours can be downloaded for offline use as well, so a downloaded area still shows why a link fails when there is no network. The terrain data comes from Mapterhorn and is credited on the map. On Google Play, each downloaded region in the Offline Manager list has a Download Terrain button and Hillshade and Contours switches; terrain attaches to that region and shares its storage limit, and an area too large for terrain asks you to zoom in or pick a smaller region. On F-Droid and Desktop, the layers sheet has an Offline Terrain section of its own: frame the area, tap Start Download, and the hillshade and contours draw from the downloaded tiles from then on.
Going offline
An Offline pill appears over the map whenever the device has no network connection. On Google Play builds, if you’ve imported a local .mbtiles archive, the map switches to it automatically the moment the network drops — no toggle to remember — and switches back once you’re reconnected, as long as you haven’t picked a different base map yourself in between. On F-Droid, a downloaded offline area keeps rendering on its own; the pill is purely informational there. Desktop downloads offline terrain but no base-map packs, so the pill is informational there too.
