Finally after over a month of order issues I have one of my T1000-E trackers. It was easy to set up and connect and I see several nodes. Haven’t reached anybody yet. I am in Canada but the location on the map still shows Shenzhen in China. I don’t see anything to change that and was also expecting the GPS would do its thing?!
People’s Meshtastic device has to be on, yes. They don’t have to have their phone connected to it. Once a phone is connected, the messages received since the last phone connection are transferred to the phone. There’s probably a limit to how many messages a device stores but it’s probably large.
Thanks. Off to Meshtastic.org to learn more haha
