Map guide
The FreqMapper map keeps measured coverage, positioned Watchers, live mapping activity, and your current mobile-app session distinct so they are not mistaken for one another.
Start with an area
The main freqmapper.net map opens at Region overview. Use Regions to search the directory and open either an individual region or a Region Group. The overview shows available boundaries, locations, and current activity totals, but it intentionally does not combine every region's coverage into one unscoped map.
Once an area is selected, its public hostname opens the map at the appropriate boundary and exposes that area's coverage, Watchers, Region Info, and leaderboard. A Region Group combines its member regions while keeping each region selectable on its own.
Map dock
The centered dock stays consistent between the overview, individual regions, and Region Groups. On smaller screens it adapts into a compact mobile layout.
| Control | What it opens |
|---|---|
| Regions | The searchable Region Group and individual-region directory. |
| Watchers | Public, positioned Watchers for the selected area, with identity, activity, and verified packet totals. |
| Info | Administrator-written area information, useful links, coverage statistics, and official mesh radio settings. |
| Legend | The complete explanation of coverage cells, session markers, Watchers, boundaries, and display priority. |
| Leaders | The leaderboard scoped to the selected region or Region Group. |
| Settings | Base map, coverage colors, regional layers, status-box visibility, and grid information in one panel. |
| Help | The documentation site. |
The dock also shows live wardrive status and the active War-Driver count. On the overview those totals cover all regions; on an area page they are scoped to that region or Region Group. Click or tap outside an open map panel to close it.
