Idaho MeshCore
IdahoMesh - MeshCore Resources
MeshCore is quickly ramping up in Idaho. There is an active, growing mesh in Southwest Idaho, and I'm hearing that North and Eastern Idaho are also working on MeshCore. Based on my extensive testing over the past few months, I do highly recommend you try it.
Settings
IdahoMesh uses the USA/Canada (Recommended) preset.

Coverage Maps
There are currently two maps showing MeshCore usage in Idaho, but keep in mind that many nodes won't appear on the maps unless people in the area put in some effort. So, don't let the fact that there aren't nodes on the map in your area discourage you from trying it. And of course, you can jump into our Discord to discuss usage in your area to get some pointers.
Idaho Meshcore Map on LetsMesh.net
This map relies on "observer" nodes pushing real-time data to build maps and analytics. If you see nodes on here, they've been active recently. You can add an observer node to put nodes in your area on the map.
Official Meshcore Map
The official meshcore map relies on people to add their nodes to the map, and once they are added, they remain on the map unless manually removed. In my experience, this map is highly inaccurate. There are a ton of nodes not on there, and many on there were early tests by new users, and those nodes don't exist any longer.
Channels
While most of us on the IdahoMesh monitor the public channel, our main channel is the #idahomesh you can join via the hashtag join button in your MeshCore app, or by scanning this QR code.
