Privacy

What MeshSonar shows in public, what it removes first, and what stays yours.

What is public

SquaresOnly squares a few hundred metres across, with ping counts and signal levels. No raw tracks, no drive names, times rounded down to the hour.
Trimmed endsThe first and last 500 m of every drive are left off public maps, so your driveway never shows. You can change the distance on your account.
Privacy zonesDraw circles around home or work; pings inside them are never shown publicly.
AnonymousDrive as “anonymous” and your callsign never appears next to your drives.
LeaderboardOff unless you opt in, and then by callsign only.

What stays yours

You see your own drives untrimmed on your account, and can rename, hide, export or delete them at any time. Deleting your account deletes your drives and their pings. Drives you hide, and drives under review, are never public.
