Looking at their web site it seems to be a standard Mesh system relying on other devices to complete comms. It would be interesting to get some good actual use data.

Here is the website for those that might be interested; About Meshtastic | Meshtastic

Ive got a couple of nodes made. They work in dead zones, as long as there's other nodes in the area. And as with all radios line of site. But then I love on Arizona and I've gotten hits from Oregon and Washington. One from west Virginia. Just wondering if they would be usable in overlanding.

On my radar a while just haven’t taken the leap.

I have several radios and it is very interesting how many stations there are. A great way to communicate with family and friends
