Research direction

Start by locating the Australia (Mid) preset and how it sets the default path hash size. Check how other presets configure this setting and run the relevant tests or checks for preset configuration. Done means new users selecting Australia (Mid) get 2 byte mode by default, without changing other presets.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Given we've linked several hundred nodes across multiple states and hundreds of kilometres, it would be of great assistance to the Aus Mid mesh if new users had their nodes set to 2 byte mode automatically, so that new nodes gel well with the existing large mesh and we can all get accurate path data.

Many thanks in advance.
