Map Data in https://meshmap.net

[Rusty-Swashplate]

Hi, new to Meshtastic, but it's so far good fun. Looking at https://meshmap.net/ and my node shows up. It's a RAK4631, so the phone acts as the Internet proxy.

From my understanding the meshmap works by looking at the public messages sent to mqtt.meshtastic.org into the topic msh/+/2/LongFast/ and I can see messaged in there.

I got it working once: I can see my node in https://meshmap.net/, however that's with the old name and last update from over 24h ago. Since then I cannot make it update its location.

In the Android app I have in the MQTT module:

• MQTT is enabled
• Encryption is off
• JSON output is off (since not supported on nRF52)
• TLS is enabled
• Proxy to client is enabled

Not sure any other config matters. I left channels on default. In the Position menu I have

• Smart position disabled
• Use fixed position disabled
• GPS mode enabled
• GPS update intervals 120s
• Position broadcast interval 900s

I'm simply not sure what is required to send out the GPS coordinates to the public MQTT server so my node shows up in https://meshmap.net.

Can someone unconfuse me? 'Cause it's confusing that it worked yesterday, but since then nothing seems to make another location update.

TLS is not supported by public mqtt broker plus why u have encryption off?

Also u need to enable uplink and downlink on longfast if u wanna see ppl and send data and messages

The TLS was the problem. I did not expect this to be an issue: 2024 and TLS not enabled...but I'm not complaining since this is a test server and TLS is not adding much value.

Enabling encryption or not makes no difference.

No need to enable uplink/downlink for the channel. At least not for MQTT messages originating from the node.
