- Scope discovery: in Passive or Hybrid mode the app can ask nearby repeaters which scopes they carry and add that to the map. Off by default, in Settings > Wardriving. Needs companion firmware v1.16.0 or newer. - Multi-region groups: drive from one region into another in the same group and your session carries on without stopping. - The coverage map now shows coverage at every zoom level, and tapping a repeater shows the scopes it carries. - Repeater Nicknames: give repeaters your own short names, shown in Top Heard, the Live Activity, CarPlay, Apple Watch and Siri. Top Heard can also show repeater names and from 3 to 8 rows. - Smart Pinging: a new Delay only flood pings switch, on by default. Discovery requests always go out, and flood pings wait only in squares with a recent two-way result. - A Cancel button while connecting to your radio, and an update screen when your app is too old to connect. - Altitude is now sent with how it was measured, so MeshMapper can show your height above sea level and above the ground. Fixes: - New dots stopped appearing on the map after about 500 pings on long drives. - Logging in to a repeater failed on radios with a large contact list. - A bad altitude or GPS reading could end a drive early. - Offline Mode could lose pings when the radio dropped, and the last pings could be dropped on disconnect. - Asking Siri to connect could fail with an unknown error, and the CarPlay card showed doubled text. Requires iOS 15 or later.

Headline Features Smart Pinging: auto mode skips pings on squares with recent coverage and sends them where the map needs it. Held pings earn 1.5 points each plus three new Airtime awards. On by default, 14 day window, configurable under Wardriving > Auto-Ping. Repeater Administrators: log in to a repeater you run over the mesh and claim it on MeshMapper. View and reset routes, fetch and upload neighbour tables. New leaderboard: Most Repeaters Administered. Add details about your repeater at portal.meshmapper.net.

### New Features - Zone grace period for region transitions: driving between zones no longer disconnects you. The app pauses pinging and shows an "Out of Zone" overlay with the nearest zone name, distance, and a 5-minute countdown. Once you enter the next zone, pinging resumes automatically without reconnecting. - Client-side zone transfers during active wardriving. When you cross into a new zone (e.g., BOS → PVD), the app handles the transfer directly: releases the old session, acquires a new one, updates channels and scopes, and resumes auto-ping automatically. A "Changing Zone..." overlay shows during the transfer with a cancel option. - Color vision deficiency support now extends to map coverage tiles. When a color vision type is selected in Settings, the tile server returns adjusted coverage squares to match your palette. Supports protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, and achromatopsia. - Custom API endpoint forwarding: optionally forward your wardrive data to a third-party HTTPS endpoint alongside MeshMapper. Configure in Settings > API Endpoints with your URL and API key. Supports clipboard import for quick setup, optional device public key prefix and IATA zone code in payloads. Best-effort, never blocks wardriving. Full docs at https://wiki.meshmapper.net/app_third_party_api/. - Ping Focus Mode: tap any ping marker to see which repeaters heard it. Draws dotted lines color-coded by signal quality with distance tags, fades unrelated markers, and zooms to fit. Works for all ping types. Ambiguous repeater matches get a white border outline. Dismiss to snap back to your previous view. - Chomper GPS marker: a new marker style in Settings > GPS Marker. Cyan color, wide mouth that faces your direction of travel and rotates with heading. ### Bug Fixes - Fixed noise floor graph showing wildly incorrect values (e.g., 13,000+ dBm) on certain devices. Some firmware versions return oversized BLE responses on the same response code as radio stats. Added frame validation to reject these responses. - Tapping a repeater ID in the ping focus popup now shows distance from the ping location, not your current GPS position. - Offline upload now shows "GPS required" instead of the misleading "Advert your device on the mesh" when GPS is disabled. Only GPS and network connectivity are needed, not a device connection. - Improved error handling for malformed mesh packets. Corrupted packets with oversized path lengths now produce a clear diagnostic message instead of an unclear RangeError. - Seeed Xiao nRF52840 boards are now automatically recognized during connection. Previously required manual power level selection on every connect. - Repeater info popup no longer shows "Repeater data not available" for the entire session after a network timeout. A failed fetch is now automatically retried on the next zone check. - Tapping a repeater ID chip no longer gets stuck on "Repeater data not available." Now fetches on demand with a loading indicator and tap-to-retry. Works in offline mode too. - Zone check retry loop no longer continues after enabling Offline Mode. Retry timers and maintenance polling are now cancelled immediately. - Zone check no longer gets stuck at "Checking Zone..." if the repeater list fails to load. The zone check now completes immediately and repeaters load in the background. - Top-heard display and API payload now only track direct single-hop TX echoes for more accurate signal readings. - Fixed iOS App Store upload rejection (ITMS-90683) caused by unused permission macros in the build. Only location and notification permissions are now included. - Fixed power level hint on the Map tab incorrectly directing users to Settings instead of the Connect tab. ### Improvements - Enhanced offline sessions display. - Improved error logging when the API returns unexpected HTML responses (e.g., CDN/proxy error pages). Now logs a clear diagnostic instead of a raw FormatException.

Highlights Multi-Byte Path Hash Support MeshMapper now fully supports MeshCore firmware v1.14.0+, expanding repeater IDs from 256 (1-byte) up to 65K (2-byte) or 16M (3-byte). Hex badges with dynamic sizing, square repeater markers, admin-enforced byte modes per region, passive multi-byte detection, and automatic conflict remediation for duplicate IDs. Trace Mode TX pings can now target a specific repeater instead of broadcasting to all repeaters. Designed for testing a single repeater's reach and coverage. Discovery Drop Reporting Failed discovery requests can now be reported as failed pings to help map dead zones and noise floor gaps. Enable it in Settings (off by default). Regional admins can enforce this region-wide. More New Features - Repeater markers now rotate with the map and stay upright - Auto-ping stops after 30 min of no movement, saving battery and radio - Repeater picker for Trace mode: browse nearby repeaters by name, hex ID, distance, and active status - Live repeater snapshot: top 3 responded repeaters from your last ping, updating live Changes - Redesigned Connection tab for clarity - Sound moved from control panel to Settings - TX/RX and Trace now have independent byte settings - "Path Bytes" renamed to "TX Bytes" with new "Trace Bytes" dropdown Improvements - Auto-ping shows "Skipped Xs" when movement is insufficient - Hybrid mode defaults to enabled for new and existing users - Minimum ping distance now configurable for TX and discovery pings - Option to keep #wardriving channel after exiting a session - CARpeater ID filter supports multi-byte regions - Failed traces show as grey discs on the map - Redesigned Log and Settings tabs - Increased font sizes and improved readability - Text scale clamping for accessibility settings Bug Fixes - Fixed GPS subscription leak doubling events on startup - Fixed Hive corruption silently dropping entire wardrive sessions - Fixed online/offline auth flows failing for unregistered devices - Subscription leak fixes (thanks @robekl) - Heartbeat retry with exponential backoff on network failure - Session deadline tracking and offline queue preservation on expiry - Discovery pings now use correct hop byte count in multi-byte regions - Location permission flow no longer skips enforcement (#11, @robekl) - Stale auto-ping timers cancelled on disconnect (#10, @robekl) - GPS zone check errors no longer retry every 5 seconds while stationary - Fixed offline pings lost on app kill or background (auto-saves every ~60s) - Trace mode now correctly supports multi-byte repeater IDs - Fixed zone capacity showing stale slot counts - Fixed zone check flooding when driving with no network - Fixed offline upload race condition that could crash BLE connection - Various additional stability and layout fixes Note: If your session ends uncleanly while in multi-byte mode, your radio will stay in multi-byte mode until you manually change it back.

What's New in v1.1.1 Regional Flood Scoping If a region has configured scopes on their repeaters, a MeshMapper regional admin can now set the scope of Active/Hybrid Mode TX pings. This limits flood messages to a specific channel, stopping wardriving pings from flooding past boundaries defined by the local mesh. Discovery pings are unaffected. Anonymous Mode New privacy option that renames your device to "Anonymous" for all mesh pings. Other wardrivers can no longer see your companion name. Your public key still handles geo-auth, but sessions and pings aren't stored with it on the server. Auto Tile Refresh Map tiles now refresh automatically after a successful upload, so new coverage appears near real-time. Faster Uploads TX and discovery pings upload on a 5-second timer, replacing the old batch system. CARpeater Filter Improvements Multi-hop CARpeater packets now report coverage from the underlying repeater instead of being dropped. A new toggle lets you disable the RSSI CARpeater filter in Wardrive Settings. Offline Mode Start wardriving immediately when zone check fails due to no internet. Admin Controls Regional admins can now enforce hybrid mode and set minimum ping intervals per-zone. Bug Fixes Fixed race conditions in API queue, tile refresh, and ping handling Fixed map tiles not loading at low zoom on iOS retina displays Fixed heard repeaters panel not scrolling for larger lists Fixed stale BLE device name being used instead of current one Fixed CARpeater filter order of operations and RX hop detection Fixed wildcard scope #* not being recognized, causing incorrect packet types to be sent. Zones with no regional scope return #* as the wildcard, but the app only matched *, causing it to derive a TransportKey and call setFloodScope() with the literal string. This resulted in all TX pings being sent as TransportFlood (0x00/0x14) instead of regular FLOOD (0x01/0x15). Performance Memory capped to prevent bloat on long sessions Replaced force unwraps with safe null checks to prevent crashes Listen windows reduced from 7s to 5s Disconnect now uploads immediately Improvements Debug logs are now enabled by default Upload logs now presents a dialog prompting the user to provide context for the upload. Replaced the cloud icon with a dedicated upload button beside "Delete All" under Debug Logs.

First production release! Version bumped to 1.0.1 to align with Apple App Store and Google Play Store versioning requirements.
