Technically, most of the hop lines are dashed, but if multiple stations are coming through the same last digipeater before your station hears it, the longer dashed lines might obliterate the shorter dashes. Dark green 2-pixel-long dots are for direct path (no intervening digipeater), cyan 4-pixel-long short dashes are for 1 hop away, brown 6-pixel-long wider lines are for 2 hops away, and yellow-orange solid lines are 3 hops away. Note that the hop count is started at the originating station (or I-gate if sent to RF by a Tx I-gate) so several different colors may appear (or sit on top of other colors) near your station. Stations you receive from an Internet connection never get hop lines.
