Map and messages

The map

Map shows the last known position of everything you own, drawn on a vector basemap the Hub serves itself. No tile request leaves for a third party, which matters when the positions are people.

Select a device to see its track. Positions arrive from device reports, from bridges, and from TAK markers if you have that integration on.

Messages

Messages is the log of everything in and out, newest first, with the direction and the bearer each one took. This is where you look when somebody says a message did not arrive: the log shows whether the Hub ever had it, and what happened next.

A message that was compressed shows both sizes. A message that failed shows why.

Routing

Routing decides what happens to a message after it arrives. A rule matches on source and sends to a destination: another bearer, a TAK server, APRS, a webhook, a notification, or the MQTT fan-out.

Two things worth knowing before you add a rule:

• A wildcard source matches everything, including test messages. A rule that relays to SMS will text a real phone the first time you try anything.
• Delivery happens once per route per message even though the Hub runs more than one replica.
