Main purpose: The online node map is the web part of MeshSense, the Affirmatech software for mapping and monitoring Meshtastic networks. It gives a quick world view of the mesh without installing anything.	Main purpose: A nearly live map of Meshtastic nodes seen by the official Meshtastic public MQTT server. It is a viewing tool only, with no way to configure a radio.	Main purpose: A browser client to configure and use your own Meshtastic node. It is a device management tool, not a network-wide map.
Data source: The map is the public side of a tool whose desktop application reads a node you own. The desktop version connects over Bluetooth or WiFi and can also show private networks.	Data source: Data comes from the public MQTT server only. It shows position-reporting nodes that report to MQTT or are heard by a node that does. Self-reported nodes outside MQTT are excluded by design.	Data source: Data comes directly from the connected device. You see your own node and the nodes it hears, not the global network.
Update behaviour and limits: Offers a global overview, while the desktop application adds signal reports and trace routes for the local network.	Update behaviour and limits: Node data is refreshed about every minute. A node is dropped when its position has not updated for 8 hours. Lines drawn to nearby nodes suggest LoRa contact, not a confirmed direct link.	Update behaviour and limits: Limited to what your node reports. Connection by HTTP works only with ESP32 devices and needs HTTPS with a trusted self-signed certificate.
Openness and licence: MeshSense is open source under GPL-3.0 according to its repository. Builds exist for Windows, Linux and macOS, with a headless mode for servers.	Openness and licence: The code is public on GitHub under AGPL-3.0, so you can reuse it to run your own map if you follow the licence terms.	Openness and licence: The source code is published on GitHub and can be self-hosted. The hosted version runs at client.meshtastic.org.
Hardware and setup: No hardware is needed to browse the map. A node is only required if you want the monitoring features of the desktop application.	Hardware and setup: No hardware or account is needed to browse. Search is by node name or ID.	Hardware and setup: A node is required. Connection uses Web Bluetooth, Web Serial (USB) or HTTP, so a Chromium-based browser is recommended.
