Improved first-launch experience — radio scanning now starts automatically when no device is connected. Added setup guide for new users: Meshtastic firmware must be installed on your radio before connecting to MeshWave. Visit flasher.meshtastic.org to set up your device. MeshSight AR, offline maps, and compass work without a radio — just your iPhone's GPS.
