goTenna Pro vs MeshScope

The goTenna Pro app is a tactical situational awareness application that pairs with goTenna Pro and goTenna Pro X2 mesh networking radio devices to enable mission-critical communications completely independent of traditional cell, Wi-Fi, or satellite connectivity. Users can download the goTenna Pro app to any iOS device, pair with a goTenna Pro or goTenna Pro X2 tactical radio, and then use the mobile device to communicate critical information like near real-time locations, share map markings, and send text messages while 100% off-grid. The app supports full interoperability with ATAK and the goTenna Android goTenna Pro app for seamless cross-platform mission coordination. goTenna Pro tactical radios have a 5W, tunable UHF/VHF output that can transmit critical data from your iOS device and also automatically act as relays that securely and anonymously “hop” messages across up to 6 devices to extend range. Key Features - Send & receive text-based messages - Automatic blue force tracking - Customizable map markers for emergencies, dangers, and objectives - Routes, perimeters, geofencing, and shape drawing tools - Individual & group messaging - Broadcasts to anyone within range on your network - Interoperability with iOS/Android goTenna Pro apps, ATAK plugin v2.2.50, and iTAK v2.10.1 - Ability to import offline maps (.sqlite files) to display custom maps on the field - Send/receive standard 2525B tactical markers

The MeshScope application is a quick way to find active Meshtastic nodes, anywhere in the world. A mobile companion to the MeshScope web site, this makes it easy to find your position, and to zoom around and find other nodes nearby. Want to dig in to details? Chat with the AI MeshBot to find out more about nodes around you, chat in your native language, and have fun! The app relies on the Meshtastic network for finding nodes, and the nodes shown may be filtered by time to only see the most recent, or to see all nodes over the last several days. Want details? Tap a marker and view the specifics of any node on the map! Although this will show the Meshtastic network, it does not require a local mesh radio and uses an internet connection to retrieve the mesh network information. This also means that the app will not be able to show any mesh radios not reporting to the global Meshtastic MQTT network.
