Here are the things you need to do to use Meshtastic device for live tracking.

Note: Install the latest firmware for your device from https://flasher.meshtastic.org/

1. Create account https://skylines.aero/users/new and get tracking key from: https://skylines.aero/settings/tracking

2. Add your Pilot id from https://skylines.aero/ to https://flyxc.app. You will find it in URL after login to skyline and selecting your profile. On https://flyxc.app menu - settings - google login - enable tracking and add the number that is at the end of skylines profile url.

3. Install Meshtastic and telegram apps on your phone. Download, unzip and import this config in Meshtastic app default.cfg.zip

4. Change LongName on the Meshtastic device to “Whatever you like/Xxxxxxxx” where Xxxxxxx is your skylines tracking key.

5. This is needed if you have not imported config from step 3: Enable GPS in “Position” and set “Position broadcast interval” to 180 seconds on Android app or 5 minutes from iPhone app.

Do not come to collect your device without doing 1-3, so as not to waste each other’s time.
