Yeah I believe you're right. Though I didn't find anyone else locally even going to the highest hill in town
There's way way more nodes around me IRL and I see new nodes every day. Join us! Make sure you buy a good antenna, the ones that come with heltec v3 are only useful for receiving but are no good for transmitting unless to another device that's basically touching it.
My area shows two nodes on meshmap, my heltec v3 sees 100 nodes, of which 50 are on the map in the meshtastic app. Different locations probably have different results, but I'd say that you'll be pleased when your nodes arrive, I was!
So far no nodes other than the two I bought. I got the upgraded longer antenna, and went out on my second story balcony in a suburban area, nothing.
Looks like I'll be the change I want to see in the world haha.
FWIW only about half the nodes around me have location broadcast enabled. The rest don’t appear on the map but they’ll show up if you receive their nodeinfo packets
