Map

The Map view displays all contacts with known GPS coordinates on an OpenStreetMap-based map.

Contact Markers

Contacts are shown as colored circle markers with type-specific icons:

ColorType
BlueChat users
GreenRepeaters
PurpleRoom servers
OrangeSensors
RedYour device

Click a saved contact marker to open the contact's detail dialog. For discovered nodes, clicking a marker opens a detail popover showing:

  • Type -- the node type (Chat, Repeater, Room, Sensor).
  • Public Key -- truncated key with a copy button to copy the full key.
  • Location -- GPS coordinates.
  • Last Seen -- when the node was last heard.
  • Add to Contacts -- button to add the discovered node directly to your contact list.

Filtering

Use the sidebar toggles to show or hide specific contact types (Users, Repeaters, Rooms, Sensors). A Discovered Nodes toggle controls whether nodes from the Discover Nearby Nodes scan or the online node database are shown. The status label below shows how many contacts are visible on the map vs. total contacts.

Clusters

When multiple contacts are close together at the current zoom level, they are grouped into numbered cluster markers. Click a cluster to zoom in or expand it into individual markers.

Path Visualization

Path overlays can be shown on the map from:

  • Device view > Trace Path -- after tracing a route, the path is drawn with SNR labels at each segment midpoint
  • Contact details > Show Path on Map -- visualizes the established path to a contact

Path markers use the same colored circles as regular markers. SNR values are color-coded: green (good, ≥0 dB), dim (marginal, -5 to 0 dB), red (poor, <-5 dB).
