Mesh for Locus Map

Last updated: 18 March 2026

Mesh for Locus Map is an Android app that forwards Meshtastic node position data to the Locus Map app on the user's device.

Data processed by the app

The app may process the following data on-device:

  • Meshtastic node identifiers
  • Meshtastic node display names
  • Meshtastic node location coordinates
  • Locally cached last known node positions used to restore markers after app or service restart
  • App operational state such as whether forwarding is enabled

How the data is used

The app uses this data only to:

  • detect Meshtastic nodes and their positions
  • create or update markers in Locus Map
  • keep previously known markers available on the device when needed
  • show basic operational status inside the app

Data sharing

The app does not send your data to the developer's servers.

The app shares Meshtastic node position data only with apps on the same device when needed for its core function, specifically:

  • Locus Map, to display forwarded markers
  • Meshtastic, as the source of node information made available to this app

Data storage and retention

The app stores some last known node information locally on the device so markers can be restored or kept available between sessions.

No cloud backend is used by this app.

Data remains on the device until it is removed by the app, cleared by the user, or the app is uninstalled.

Permissions used

The app may request or declare the following Android permissions:

  • Foreground service permissions, to run the forwarding service reliably in the background
  • Notification permission, to show foreground service notifications when required by Android

Children's privacy

The app is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal data for a remote service.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if the app's data handling changes.
