PLAN YOUR FESTIVAL DAY • Browse the interactive festival map • Search places, vendors, stages, food, and landmarks • Check show times and find the right stage • Open place details without losing your spot on the map READY FOR SPOTTY SERVICE RenMap saves festival content for offline use, helping you keep the map and schedule close when cellular service is limited. PLAY ON THE GROUNDS Follow location-based riddles, check your position at each clue, collect every fragment, and complete the festival quest. OPTIONAL MESH GROUPS Connect a compatible Meshtastic radio to create or join a private group by QR code. Send group or direct messages, find consenting group members on the festival map, and keep coordinating over radio when the internet is unavailable. Internet sync can help bridge messages when a participating phone is onsite. COMMUNITY SAFETY RenMap includes an objectionable-language filter, message reporting, local user blocking, published community guidelines, and a direct support contact. Mesh features require compatible Meshtastic hardware and are not an emergency service. Message and location delivery can be delayed or unavailable depending on radio range, device permissions, and network conditions.
