Default Another "But Spot?"

Most of my Spot track points make it to the display page, but what my
wife has noticed and complains about is the track points don't always
arrive on the display page promptly. Often, two points show up at the
same time, 20 minutes or more from the previously displayed point.

She noticed this at the Parowan motorglider camp in June, where the
confines of the motorhome keep her next to the computer, unlike other
places we use Spot. Another person noticed it on her husband's spot
during the same event.

Has anyone else noticed this delayed posting of Spot track points?
