The following nodes are not correctly located on the AREDN Global Mesh Map. Most all have erroneous Longitude values, specifically lacking the minus sign (-) in front of the second Lat/Lon number. This places them in China, India, Pakistan, in the middle of the ocean, etc. Would the owners of these nodes please correct their location fields in the Setup Screen and retransmit these to AREDN.
I would have sent PMs, but didn't have personal contact info for you all..
Thanks.

"aa7au-airrouter.local.mesh" should be set to 0 for both lat and long. It is a portable node which moves around from state to state and is frequently used for control operator tunnels into other mesh systems. Generally it lives on a totally separate mesh island. I have never, to the best of my knowledge, intentionally submitted it to the AREDN map. Some of those uses were within a very tightly policed HOA and I do not care to be exposed to them, even it's unlikely they could ever figure it out. Stuff happens, and I try to not get too much of it on me.
It might be a good idea at your end to filter out or reject all nodes which report as 0.00 0.00
I'd be interested in any conjecture as to how this was captured/submitted but my primary suspect would be as a result of brief exposure to Don Hill's independant MeshMap install on the Las Vegas mesh island.

If you set the location to blank, rather than 0/0, it will never show up on the maps. That's how I do my portable ones. Also Upload Data to AREDN Servers once it's blank and it will clear anything out on the website. The on-mesh mappers only keep data for x number of days so they'll disappear off there eventually too.
