This visualization maps the approximate position of Fidonet nodes for a given weekly nodelist.

Modern nodelists are released on a weekly basis, however for the first few years releases were much less regular or organized. Accuracy of the location information for nodes is also somewhat inconsistent, especially for some nets.

Points are colored and larger depending on the number of nodes allegedly at that exact coordinate:

 100+ nodes
  50 nodes
  20 nodes
  10 nodes
  1 node 
The nodelists used as input data can be found here.
