MeshFind vs RADIO 4DAT

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.

RADIO 4DAT turns the low-cost radios you already own into a planned, legal backup communications network. Tell it your group size, how far the farthest link is, the terrain and your license, and it recommends the radio, antenna, channel plan and the lowest transmit power that still closes each link. It knows the rules: without a license it plans only license-free services (FRS, LoRa mesh, Wi-Fi), and it shows exactly why an option is blocked. WHAT'S INSIDE • Plan: a build for your team in seconds, with relays, vehicles and the heads-ups your phone needs • Kit: track your radios, batteries, tests and reorders; sign in to keep the same kit on every device • Gear guide: commercial radios, LoRa boards, receivers and accessories, each tagged with whether you may transmit with it • Survey: a simulated spectrum view showing how a $40 receiver flags interference and jamming and takes bearings • Link: the physics of range, antenna height and power, with an estimate of how far others could hear you • Modem: how text and positions travel over a voice radio to ATAK or iTAK, with legal paths only, and a Mask mode for speech through a mask • Network: situation-aware routing across cell, Wi-Fi, LoRa mesh, radio and satellite, with automatic fallback when a link fails • PACE card: a one-page comms plan to hand to your team • Rules: the radio regulations that trip people up, in plain language • Guide: hands-on tutorials, from a LoRa mesh text net to an off-grid push-to-talk network Civilian and military modes use the right vocabulary for each. Everything works without an account; sign in with Apple or Google only if you want your kit on every device. Team sharing is coming in RADIO 4DAT Team. This release is a planner with simulated radios: it does not transmit. Radio integration follows in a later release. It is a planning aid, not legal advice; transmit only where you are licensed or authorized. Built by 4DAT LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business.
