MeshMapper

View and reset routes, fetch and upload neighbour tables. New leaderboard: Most Repeaters Administered. Add details about your repeater at portal.meshmapper.net. Apple Watch App: pings on a map, strongest nodes, countdown, start and stop sessions from your wrist. Requires watchOS 11. Live Activities: session on Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Smart Stack, and CarPlay with countdown, repeaters, noise floor, and radio battery. Requires iOS 16.2.
