MeshCore Node Map

Why Use MeshCore Node Map​

Node Map can provide real-time visibility into the MeshCore network by plotting node locations, allowing users to understand network topology and node distribution.

MeshCore Node Map relies on nodes periodically reporting their geographic position to the network. It is particularly useful for:

  • Discovering nearby repeaters: Identify available repeaters to extend connectivity
  • Monitoring your own network: Track node status and location
  • Debugging and optimization: Optimize placement of repeaters and gateways

Companion Configuration​

To let a companion node appear on the MeshCore Node Map, a device must be properly configured to report its location. Configure as followed:

Repeater or Room Server Configuration​

To let a repeater or room server appear on the MeshCore Node Map, a device must be properly configured to report its location.

First log in to the repeater. The default admin password to a repeater is password.

Enable the GPS and get the location (some repeater firmware do not support updating the real-time location, you may need to manually choose your location).

Search for your node​

After the configuration, wait for a few mins, then you can see your nodes on the map.

You can see device name, role and configuration information. So by using this map, you can easily figure out where are those alive nodes.

(Advanced) Building Your Own Node Map Frontend​

For advanced users, it is possible to build a custom Node Map frontend. It is recommended to use the following workfolow:

[Normal MeshCore Node] → [Mesh Nodes set with MQTT] → [Backend API / Database] → [Frontend Map UI]
