There are 4 in my metropolitan area, and I don't have line of sight to any of them :(
There are about 30 meshtastic in the same area, but most of them are out of range to each other.
I even stood one up at work on the other side of town and mqtt'd them together.
edit: a'ight I put it on a t114. can't see anything from the house, track practice is 25mi away, lets see if there are any quiet core nodes out there.
edit: edit: Nothing at all. Which is a fing shame, the client is way nicer, it's better on battery. It's better on battery on the t114. The map is faster. I think it's probably a better product since you can kind of emulate the client/router setup and it can work like meshtastic. Maybe I'll leave my of my v3's running on it in the attic with a modest antenna upgrade.
Heck yeah get on the map. My area sees new repeaters weekly. If you build it they will come and it sounds like you know what to do.

No wonder how hard it would be to bridge mesh core in MQTT in my area.
