bathboy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Is it just me or have we lost the tracking page? Same here. Not sure if related, but it looked funny when I looked last night. Showed only two tracks going in diffferent directions. Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Last night was a bit interesting with pilots landing all over the place !!! but the tracking is now back up again, the boys are following the A9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It is working again now and thy are up and running across the toughest but near Loch Ericht. The valley floor here is around 1700' tops just before they turn the corner towards Aviemore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Looks like a Scotch Whisky tour of Scotland, they are about to pass the Dalwhinnie Distillery - I know I'd be tempted to land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcs Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I drove up the A9 in May and remember thinking how wonderful it would be to fly around that area, they must be nearing Aviemore now which is breathtaking scenery! Bloody shame about the weather though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_P Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I would be interested to know if the problems that have been encountered with the tracking page have been due to the 'SPOT' system, or the way we are distributing the information. I am tempted to spend on 'SPOT' but if these hiccups are symptomatic of system issues then I might reconsider and have a blow out on a s/h satellite phone instead.

mrs_sw Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I haven't encountered any problems with watching the tracking process (and I'm watching frequently). Sometimes when I refresh the page, it comes up as page unavailable, but then I just re-open the page from fresh and everything is ok. I don't think this is the tracking page problem - just me refreshing too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Phil, et al, you bring up an interesting question and, as I have no commercial axe to grind with SPOT, I'll give an impartial answer... This morning's problem was due to problem between the TipToTip webserver and the Tricerion Webserver where we are coordinating the tracking for all the pilots. It was nothing to do with the SPOT service at all. The problem on Day 1 was due to a software upgrade on the SPOT webserver going awry. None of those problems had any impact on the satellite tracking or uplink service. If anyone had pressed the "help" button it would have been responded to. I've been using the service for 3 months now and the Day 1 problem was the only time I've had any evidence of a webserver problem with SPOT.
