## What is Nelos?

Stay connected, even beyond cell coverage.

Nelos helps families and small groups stay connected using MeshCore-compatible LoRa mesh radios, even when there is no mobile coverage or internet access.

Features:
• Live location sharing on offline maps
• Downloadable offline maps worldwide
• Track family members, pets, and personal belongings
• Team messaging and direct messaging
• Help requests and responder coordination
• Offline team setup using QR codes
• Works with compatible MeshCore devices
• No account required
• No central message server
• Privacy-focused design

Nelos is designed for families, hiking, outdoor adventures, travel, volunteer teams, and off-grid situations.

Tracking, messaging, and location sharing depend on compatible devices, radio conditions, map availability, and user permissions. Nelos should not be your only means of communication or safety in critical situations.
