I flew Monday and Wednesday this week. Both times, my wife reported the flight track on the inReach website did not update automatically; instead, she had to refresh the page each time.

It's not a big problem, now that she knows it can happen, but it caused her some consternation initially. Other than this issue, she likes it better than Spot because it has the speed and altitude, and dots instead of big bootprints for the flight track. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me)

Hi Eric,

I asked my wife if she noticed the same issue as Jan. She observed that the trace updated automatically in "clumps". It would be nice if it were more of a streaming thing. She much prefers it to my old spot, as it gives her real time information of my location, altitude and speed. The time is also on the fix and there seems to be little delay. The Spot could be easily 20 minutes behind. The In Reach should be much better for the "show and tell" at competitions.
