Trails, shared pins, a GPS check, and a new look.

New

  • Trails. Tap a teammate on the OsmAnd map and choose Trail to see where they've been over
    the last 30 minutes to 6 hours, drawn in their colour. The track is named after them, a marker
    shows where and when it started, and you can reset it at any time.
  • Shared pins. Show your team a place: tap it in OsmAnd, then Share → MeshAnd pin. Only
    the coordinates go out (plus a short description if you tick the box), as a tiny text message:
    meshand: 41.75002,44.77124. Teammates with MeshAnd get a notification and a map pin in your
    colour, with Navigate. Everyone else can read it in the Meshtastic app.
  • Is my GPS working? MeshAnd shows when your radio last got a new GPS position and how many
    satellites it sees, and warns you when the position gets old.
  • How old is that position? Teammates on the map and in the team list show when their
    position was taken, and "GPS not updating" when their radio keeps re-sending an old one.
  • Update check. When you open MeshAnd it asks GitHub whether a newer version exists and
    offers the download. You can turn this off in Settings.
  • Trails and pins survive restarts. They're saved on the phone; Settings → Clear saved
    data
    removes them.

Improved

  • New logo and a redesigned app. Four pages (Radio, Nodes, Pins, Settings) instead of one
    long screen, a search box for long node lists, and easier-to-read text outdoors.
  • Light or dark theme, or follow the phone (Settings → Appearance).
  • Team list in OsmAnd has the same new look, with separate Team and Pins pages, distance
    badges, and one-tap Trail and Alert switches.
  • Pins show the real time as well as how long ago ("14:05 (5 min ago)").
  • Your own radio is hidden on the OsmAnd map by default. Switch it back on in Settings if you
    need it.

Updating

  • Install the new APK over 0.1.0. Your radio pairing and settings are kept.
  • If you installed MeshAnd from Android Studio, uninstall it first: those builds use a
    different signing key.
  • MeshAnd now has the Internet permission. It is used only for the update check.
  • Sending a pin is the only time MeshAnd transmits anything to the mesh, and only when you tap
    Send pin.

Download
