Part of #1. Related to https://gitea.farpn.net/w1cdn/farpn_udp_server, which will be potentially receiving data from multiple locations.

Is there any easy grid square lookup we can include, or would it have to be lat/long?

We did discuss on Matrix that a network map is not a physical map, so you could map connectivity without needing locations. But locations are also in the real world...

"It would be more interesting to have something that displays a string map with string color indicating potential link quality by age heard"
