An interactive community map for local pins, businesses, events, and live Meshtastic mesh-network nodes, with paid marker extensions and operator licenses.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The interface treats map markers as expiring inventory: visitors can add a free location marker, while paid plans extend its lifetime for five, 15, or 30 days. It also exposes a territory business model, including a two-kilometre-radius example priced at $99 annually and a displayed starting bid of $5. The operator dashboard currently reports zero owners, users, markers, revenue, and bids, so the marketplace mechanics are visible even though the extract shows no operating activity.
