SPOT/ Chase vehicle support

[jmcglynn]

My friends and I do long dirt bike rides and employ chase vehicles to support us.  We recently started using a SPOT GPS messenger to track team progress and determine chase vehicle location relative to the riders.  It would be great for the SPOT tracklog to automatically download from the internet into TF along with the ability to integrate realtime position for the chase team (via a laptop with wireless card).

Have you seen trackleaders.com?  It is our other site for live SPOT tracking software.

We do plan to add live tracking features into the TF application itself, sometime in the near future.

Thanks for the suggestion/interest.

Very cool. I am glad you are doing this. The SPOT tool is very cool. Hopefully your development will also eventually lead to APRS support.

Ditto.  Just starting to experiment with APRS as another tracking tool.  There is an interesting implementation of APRS done for iPhone called iBCNU.
