Meshtastic is a mesh network for radio communications or something. I’m curious to hear from people who’ve used it as to what their experience was like.

I bought a t1000e “tracker” hoping that I could use it to track my bike if it got stolen. Well despite it being called a tracker and having a mode called “tracker” it doesn’t really work as a tracker. It turns out it’s really more of an external radio for my cellphone. It gets me onto kind of a city wide chat channel. Nice but not what I was after.
The really frustrating part is that I think the network and the devices can support a decent tracker …but it’ll take the right combination of dozens of confusing settings. I gave up after about two months of trying various combinations. I even went to a meshtastic club meeting but everyone there agreed that my tracker would not really… track. Sigh.
Just one guy’s opinion and with just a singular goal. If you’re into Ham radio or like the idea of low power radio chirping communicating across great distances… then jump right in.
Maybe The Things Network is more like what you are looking for
