Ahoj,

since up to firmware version 0.9.11 you used to colour the map nodes based on hop count, and that colouring was already working when only an advert was received but no path was established, the received advert seems to already include at least the hop count it took this specific advert to arrive. (Maybe also the exact path?)

I hereby feature wish that in the contact list, when opening the contact details, behind the "Last heard" there is a hop count and when available also the exact path.

Regards!

improved in v0.9.12.1:

Contacts detail: replace the ambiguous Flood (?) / Direct (?) route suffix with the advert-path hop when available, e.g. Flood (seen 2H).

Exact path is not yet implemented - will be implemented later!
