Is this something you think is useful? What are your thoughts

[@charalamposamprikidis7478]

Awesome idea :)

[@BlueFinCNC]

As a wildland firefighter I have long been interested in something like this for resource tracking on an incident.

[@chrisburnette8148]

just found meshtastic myself. i think the research you're doing in a real world scenario with these trips is great content personally! i'm not into offroading per se but I subbed cause I thought this was awesome

[@tophattommy2]

Quite useful!

[@Meshtastic]

Awesome idea! Let’s collab!

[@BeyondTheRaptor]

You bet! Let's chat after i post part 3 (Jan 1 release)

[@Meshtastic]

@@BeyondTheRaptor Ok :)

[@Gintokikreuz1]

Yes this would be very useful when shtf. Good for preppers. I would honestly use your app as a Dog GPS tracker. Without needing a cellphone subscription. 🐕 Man's Best friend needs the best off grid solution.

[@NectarEventsInc.-sx5mh]

We'd like to use a Meshtastic solution for Mutant Vehicle tracking on Playa at Burning Man... this looks perfect so that campers can locate the MVs on playa.

Hey, you didn't give feedback on the new antenna mounts for front and rear vehicles. How did the magnetic mount withstand offroading?

[@rodneymyers3564]

It's been over a year. What settings did you change, and to what. to keep the large group together?

[@Scicluna83]

Any updates

[@mryang3644]

Have u tried it in hunting/hiking terrain?😂

[@BobBob-il2ku]

Can you put in the description the antenna’s & window mount links 🙏

[@BeyondTheRaptor]

the whole thing is pretty custom. Customer 3d printed case, with a modified antenna mount from amazon amzn.to/3Gs7pDF

[@BobBob-il2ku]

Are the antennas stock besides the two at the front & rear?

[@kylethomure3629]

Love it! Android and iOS? :) I have not used meshtastic yet but do see a lot of pairing videos with ATAK. I'm curious what the differences would be outside of ease of use (ie a lot of customization and hastle). My alternative so far has been APRS.

[@BeyondTheRaptor]

Difference between ATAK and meshtastic?

[@kylethomure3629]

Ive been looking at this th-cam.com/video/mb2OBIw-1Oc/w-d-xo.html your solution looks a lot easier to setup.

[@NSQGarage]

I promise it wasn't me who missed the turn 😂

[@BeyondTheRaptor]

We all made it back safe… :) thats what matters

[@frostyraptor]

Will you be testing/running these again at Raptors on the Rocks again for 2023?

[@BeyondTheRaptor]

Hoping to have the app done by then....

[@tophattommy2]

More technical please as the Meshtastic's have some issues for me.

[@BeyondTheRaptor]

Meshtastic is definitely not for the faint of heart. Reach out on instagram or our website. Happy to help

[@kentsager2117]

What off line base map did you use?

[@BeyondTheRaptor]

Still investigating, Mapbox and google maps / satellite are at the top of the list. suggestions?
