 A standalone way of building a contact list of neighbours is to:
-  - Advert(ise) our node with precise (or close enough) location for others.
+  - Advert(ise) your node with precise (or close enough) location for others to find you.
   - Discover other nodes based on their location.

+There are three kinds of maps in MeshCore:
+<WRAP simple centered box>
+<WRAP third column>
+{{:links:meshcore:quickstart:contactlist04.png?300|}}
+The map at the bottom of the main page only shows nodes in your contact list.
+</WRAP>
+<WRAP third column>
+{{:links:meshcore:quickstart:contactlist05.png?300|}}
+{{:links:meshcore:quickstart:contactlist06.png?300|}}
+The map under "Discover Contacts" shows all the nodes that your companion has heard so far.
+</WRAP>
+<WRAP third column>
+{{:links:meshcore:quickstart:contactlist07.png?300|}}
+The "Internet Map" shows a map of all the nodes heard by "observers" that are shared to the [[https://meshcore.io/map |Internet]].

+We'll use the "Discover Contacts" map to populate your contact list, but keep in mind that you might have to leave your node on for a bit for it to hear all the nodes in your area since they need to advert or transmit for your node to see them:
+  * In the "Discover Contacts" "Map View", tap on the filter icon {{:links:meshcore:quickstart:contactlist08.png?20}} and select "Users".
+  * Tap on a node
+  * Under the node's name, tap on "Add"
+If you go back to the main page's "Map", you should now see that contact.
