Default See Spots Run

I had each of the pilots in the contest, forward to my e-mail account,
their link to their spots. And then, luckily I had a volunteer (well,
ok, she was working on her laptop inside the hangar)....who could then
pop up any of the spots if we had a question. It REALLY came into
play in a helpful way for the contest organizers. We had a down
pilot, with spot, and we could tell where he was and that he wasn't
moving...good sign that he was on the ground! before he could get to a
phone to call us. Cell phone signal is really weak in the Utah
Mountains!

I definitely think that is a GREAT tool to have. I would like for it
to be easier to display all the pilots one one screen to project on
the wall/screen for visitors/crew/staff watch. It would give us on
the ground some more fun too!
