Map of (prospective) node locations #3

Open AbelLykens opened 4 years ago

AbelLykens commented 4 years ago

In the chat we started a simple map. Can we get this here in some way?

Suggestions?

brmdbr commented 4 years ago

I'm currently building a website just like: https://imeshyou.gotennamesh.com/ this project.

The idea is that you can add a marker to a map if you have a mesh node or are interested in having one. People should be able to contact each other (anonymous) so they can help/meet each other in setting up a mesh.

Any suggestions, please drop them here.

I'm expecting to have a first verion ready in a few weeks, I will add it to git then.

Sounds great.

Suggestion from my side: try to think about anonimity in placing markers, too. Not having to place exactly at my house would be good.

brmdbr commented 4 years ago

That is definitely a concern that I have in mind.

tacticalpidgeon commented 4 years ago

having anonimity would be straight forward, we assume the (final) range would be around 4km(give or take) so just polygon a radius around the marker itself,instead of a direct marker

brmdbr commented 4 years ago

I like the idea. But the range depends on the environment too, high buildings would bring the range down for example. Signal wont be a perfect circle around the node.

But doing something like this could give a nice overview of the current coverage, noted.
