Context

A DEBUG=1 capture from a long-running ingestor (2026-06-27 → 2026-07-22) shows Meshtastic WAYPOINT_APP packets being dropped as unsupported-port in ignored-meshtastic.txt. The dashboard currently has no ingest path or UI for waypoints.

Evidence

Two waypoints broadcast by !3769b133, both real Berlin POIs:

Name Description Position Icon
Tempelhofer Feld "There is no other place in Berlin to see further. : )" 52.4751642, 13.4029586 U+2708 ✈
Abgedreht Bar "Was wollen wir trinken … ;)" 52.5158247, 13.4520138 U+1F37B 🍻

Payload fields available

decoded.waypoint carries: id, latitudeI/longitudeI (1e-7°), name, description, icon (unicode codepoint), lockedTo, expire.

Proposed scope

  • data/: handle WAYPOINT_APP in the packet dispatch, emit a waypoint event (new contract section in data/mesh_ingestor/CONTRACTS.md).
  • web/: POST /api/waypoints + storage; map layer rendering the icon codepoint with name/description popup; honor expire and retention/PRIVATE invariants.
  • Protocol parity note: MeshCore has no waypoint equivalent — model as an optional MeshProtocol capability, not a required event.

Status

Deferred for now (maintainer decision) — captured here so the data points aren't lost.
