The service is for free!! The only thing to do is: Register! You get your access within 24 hours.
It is useful for paraglider pilots, hanglider pilots or other pilot groups who have "SPOT Satellite GPS Messengers" (or "SPOT Connect Devices"). On the webpage
"wherearethepilots.com" you can present all the live tracks of your group on one single webpage. This is not possible with your personal account on "findmespot.com" - on "wherearethepilots.com" you can manage all links from your group and bring the whole group or several smaller teams on one single Google Maps page.
What do you need for using this page and the service?
At present time (September 2011) we only support the livetracking devices "SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger" and "SPOT Connect". All other devices which are based on mobile phone coverage like "Flymaster Livetracker" or Smart Phone Apps (e.g. Gaggle) are not supported. With the "SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger" you are not dependent on a mobile radio network. SPOT Messenger works on a satellite base... a big PRO!
When you own a "SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger" and when you set up your "Public Shared Page" on your SPOT account simply join a pilot group or a club who uses our service. Or build your own pilot group and apply for a new account! Please note that all of the pilots in your group know this site and its livetracking link - and every pilot must know that he/she appears on this site as a member of a livetracking group!
How does it work?
With the link in the menu "register" you apply for your own pilot group. After the registration you get a personal account where you can fill in 20 members and their SPOT links. The system checks the links an puts the pilots and the links into a database. As an additional feature you can activate or deactivate every single pilot in your list. Once set up and/or updated the pilots you go to "My Pilots List" which will be generated.
Tick all the pilots you want to be shown (please note: some may have no Track-Points) on one Google Maps page. Then click on "Show Pilots on Google Maps". After the map is shown, you can set this Google Map as a "Favorite" in your browser. However, this is a good way to spot different pilots or favorite teams on separate pages. The next day you only open your "Favorite" in the browser and you immediately see the present tracks of this pilot or team on Google Maps.
