If it would be useful , it can be added to the membership system
easily. It would of course be optional.

In answer to the original question, one good feature of the SSA (American)
website is that the "tracking URL" of members is available online. It is not
limited to any particular service, although most pilots use SPOT. If you
know that Person X took off from your site this morning, you can find thei
I still have one of the early SPOTs and see no reason to upgrade. In fact I
think the limitations of the system are important features for glider
pilots.
In a competition context, the 10-minute updates with no altitude information
mean that there is no competitive information broadcast. Your crew
Greatly appreciate the amount of and variety of responses to this. Head is
spinning!
Just to clarify that when I used the 'spot' it was in the broader sense of
regular location updates and not specifically in reference to Spot.

Hi DMcD
Would you mind expanding on the alternatives please?

What are they?
* Radio - not technically allowed in the glider, special equipment needed, not
long distances, ground stations required.
* GSM - Not enough coverage in Australia, agai

Thanks for the info.
Sorry if you thought I was questioning your price for justification. Certainly
not. Not judging at all, and I have been a club treasurer :-)
I was only asking if the FLARM entries also need to pay the price, so the
answer is yes.
Thanks :-)

Interesting.
I don't plan to use Spot next season. There are better alternatives.

Hi Scott,
W have driven the hardware costs down to a point where make almost nothing
on it. The aim is to recoup investment through annual pilot subs.
You will be one who will understand the efforts to keep the back-end of
dittolog running smoothly.

SPOT is a good service and has been around for years. I've used it
since before they introduced "shared page" tracking. Delorme InReach,
especially the InReach SE, is a better product but at a higher operating
cost. The Explorer version can also be used for navigation. With InReach
you can di
Awesome. Will try it out. It was not one I was aware of.

Hi Laurie,
It may be of interest to the community that we have just partnered with
Butterfly to market Dittolog.
We are in the midst of finalizing development of a SAR system ourselves,
through connection of a Flarm receiver to the dittobase. We have also
implemented many very useful functions fo
Yes we do that at gliding club victoria. It is quite easy to read the Public
URL data and process the information.
Buzz me off line if you want some code.
My altimeter goal (should one day I actually have that elusive thing called
time) is to integrate it as a service that adds to other service
Hi All,
Have been thinking about our need for a programme that will give spot info
primarily in the event of a need for SAR.
Has anyone had success with something that offers real time data and that
doesn't need sms which would become expensive with regular monitoring?

Thanks, Matthew. Yours is by far the most sensible comment on the topic.
Aerobatics aren't done over built up areas for
good reason. I wonder how that risk compares with a large gaggle of gliders?
