How accurate is the meshmap? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm still fighting with Amazon to get my first pair of devices delivered, I went with heltec v3s to get started.

But looking at the meshmap.net, it's very very sparse around me. How likely is it that the are nodes that aren't on the map?

Hopefully I can check it out myself soon!

So far no nodes other than the two I bought. I got the upgraded longer antenna, and went out on my second story balcony in a suburban area, nothing.

Looks like I'll be the change I want to see in the world haha.

Aw, that's disappointing. I'm a little surprised, but it still a DIY hobbyist niche and must just highly depend on your area. I'd leave your nodes up and see if anyone joins at some point in the future. Also double check the settings to maks sure you're on the public LongFast channel?

EDIT: even with all the nodes that I connect to, there is almost no chatter happening on the public LongFast channel. People are quiet 🤷

Yeah a bummer. But I've still got plans to get some height, and I've got some friends who are gonna join in on the fun, I'm hoping we can mesh our houses 😁

Yep everything is default. US, longfast 🤷‍♂️
