MeshFind vs NodeScope

Turn your Meshtastic radio into an offline activity recorder and navigation companion. MeshFind connects directly to a paired Meshtastic radio over Bluetooth and records the GPS positions supplied by the radio you choose. Create detailed route maps without cell service, review distance, time, pace, and elevation, then export a standard GPX file for Strava or another compatible service. RECORD YOUR MOVEMENT • Track the connected radio automatically or select another GPS node on your mesh • Request high-detail local GPS fixes without increasing high-frequency mesh broadcasts • Keep recordings alive while the app is in the background • Use Wander Mode to pause lingering time and GPS drift, then resume automatically when you move NAVIGATE OFFLINE • Create, color-code, tag, edit, import, and export waypoints • See waypoints and selected friends on a live heading band • Open a full-screen directional arrow with bearing and distance remaining • Select exact map squares to download before leaving service FIND FRIENDS AND RADIOS • Show only the mesh nodes you explicitly select as friends • Exchange your associated radios with another Meshstrava user by QR code • Rename friend devices and request an updated position when network rules allow • Remember paired radios and their last received positions as findable waypoints RADIO-AWARE SETUP • Review connected-radio GPS, channel, firmware, battery, and supported temperature telemetry • Use a guided provisioning wizard and plain-language setup checks • Protect event-managed configurations with Burning Mesh Event Safe Mode • Reconnect automatically to a remembered Bluetooth radio Meshstrava is local-first. No Meshstrava account or web server is required for core recording and navigation. Meshtastic-compatible GPS radio hardware is required for live radio features. Device capabilities and update frequency depend on the radio, firmware, configuration, and mesh conditions. Meshstrava is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meshtastic, Strava, LowMesh, or OpenStreetMap.

NodeScope is an unofficial, read-only companion for CoreScope and Beacon, the mesh network analyzers used by MeshTexas and other MeshCore communities. It connects directly to a selected analyzer’s public API to present nodes, packets, channels, routes, observers, and analytics on iPhone and iPad, with adaptive layouts for iPhone Duo. Beacon support is in beta. Available features and history may vary by server. EXPLORE YOUR NETWORK View active nodes, online observers, recent packets, and signal information. Search across nodes, observers, channels, public keys, and packets, then save favorites for quick access. NODE ANALYTICS Evaluate nodes across multiple time ranges using native charts and summaries. Depending on the analyzer, NodeScope can display availability, signal quality, packet or observation activity, relay behavior, observer coverage, packet types, hop counts, peer interactions, and neighboring nodes. Beacon observation history is limited to the history retained by the server, currently up to seven days. Unavailable metrics are clearly identified rather than estimated. Export supported analytics as CSV or JSON. LIVE MESH MAP See known nodes on the map, distinguished by role. Live packet traffic animates hop-by-hop across the mesh. Filter by region, node role, activity, or observer. Inspect confirmed route hops, observations, packet metadata, and public text content. Replay supported routes on the map or share route details as structured text. Adaptive layouts can show the map alongside the live packet feed on supported devices. LIVE PACKETS Follow mesh traffic as it arrives. NodeScope groups observations of the same transmission so you can distinguish unique packets from the observers that received them. Filter the feed, inspect packet details, replay supported routes, or pause while exploring and return with Resume Live. CHANNELS Browse available group-channel traffic as a conversation feed and load older messages retained by the analyzer. CoreScope supports public channel history and locally monitored key-protected channels. Keys are stored in your device’s Keychain and are never sent to the analyzer. Beacon can provide server-decrypted channels whose keys are known by that server. On-device monitored-channel decryption is not currently available for Beacon. OBSERVERS Inspect devices feeding the analyzer, including available hardware information, firmware, activity, packet or observation statistics, and signal measurements. Supported Beacon servers can also provide battery voltage, noise floor, airtime, uptime, and receive errors. Missing measurements are shown as unavailable rather than zero. SEARCH, FAVORITES, SHARING, AND EXPORTS Search the network and save important channels, nodes, and observers to your Explore dashboard. Customize dashboard statistics, export supported data, and share direct links to nodes, observers, channels, and packets. Add supported nodes to MeshCore with a contact QR code, or open, copy, and share their MeshCore contact links. DIAGNOSTICS AND STORAGE Check analyzer connectivity, compatibility, live-update status, and available capabilities. Review cache usage and safely clear downloaded data without removing favorites, channel keys, or preferences. COMMUNITY ANALYZERS Choose from supported community CoreScope and Beacon sources, or enter a compatible analyzer hostname. Beacon sources are marked as beta. NodeScope has no backend of its own. It connects directly from your device to the selected analyzer. No NodeScope account or sign-in is required. PRIVACY BY DESIGN NodeScope contains no advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics SDKs. Location access is used only to show your position and center the map. Your location and locally stored channel keys are never transmitted by NodeScope. NodeScope is an independent project and is not affiliated with CoreScope, Beacon, MeshTexas, or MeshCore.
