In my area it’s at least 10 to 1 in terms of actual nodes vs nodes that are uplinked to show up on meshmap. I was out of range of the mesh in the town next door until just a couple weeks ago, still no idea where the node is that is letting me reach into town actually is. Until then get another one and take it hiking with you and a friend, they’re surprisingly useful on their own and you also might see others.
Plus, if you build it and put your node on the map it might inspire others.
