Building a node can be done for under 20€ with a Heltec V3. Not the most power efficient, but not an issue if you're running it from usb power anyway.
Also a note: the map doesn't show all nodes, my node can see a lot more devices around me than are listed on the map. Maybe some issues with reporting or something (which is optional in the first place)

If you want a power efficient device with an enclosure, Seeed Studio make some decent stuff. I run a pair of Wio L1s (one on Meshtastic, the other on MeshCore), which cost around 40 € complete with antenna, battery, and enclosure. Sure, more expensive than a bare V3 but more convenient for actually taking them somewhere.
