It is not possible to upload data to meshcoretel.ru

Works most of the time.

App will sometimes not connect to internet or unconnect to vehicle Bluetooth. Controls are alittle confusing with auto pinging.

Vital tool for Understanding Meshcore

This app makes visible how the Meshcore network works in real time and in your neighborhood. See how your repeater is working, troubleshoot transmitter/antenna issues and feed your OCD by encouraging you to turn the map green!

Cool Data. Fun Experience

Super fun to open up and watch in my peripheral while driving around. The data is pretty useful for planning out and building the mesh too
