Already running MeshCore where you live? One small observer puts your area's nodes on our analyzer and live map, next to the rest of Texas. You don't need an account or a server, and it's free.
Repeaters, companions, and room servers your observer hears show up on the live map and analyzer.
Your city gets its own region code, so anyone can filter the map and analyzer down to just your area.
See which paths packets take, how strong signals are, and which repeaters are carrying the load. Handy when you're deciding where the next repeater goes.
We host the broker, analyzer, and map. Your observer connects with its own keys, so there are no logins to set up.
Your mesh doesn't change. The observer is one more node listening on your local settings, and nobody else on your mesh has to do anything.

The same packets any radio in range can hear, kept for 7 days. Direct messages and private channels stay encrypted. The Privacy page has the details.
Yes. Most Texas codes are shared, but CRP (Corpus Christi), ACT (Waco), DRT (Del Rio), UVA (Uvalde / Winter Garden), and LRD (Laredo) exist only on MeshTexas. If you feed both networks from one of those areas, give each broker its own code. The beta channel of agessaman's MQTT Observer firmware can do that, and so can meshcoretomqtt and meshcore-packet-capture. On the stable release of agessaman's firmware, one code goes to every broker, so use MeshMapper's nearest region. Setup steps and the full list of codes we accept are on Connect.
Yes. Your observers can send to more than one broker at a time, and we can also give your group access to ours for your own map. See Working With Other Regions.
