Just got an email reply from SSA. They said to hover over the Racing
tab and the Tracker should appear. Well when I use Chrome the
sub-menu does not appear. When I use Explorer the sub-menu does
appear but crashes when I click on Tracker and I get a message that
it is not supported and to use Chrome. WTF!

Tried again and SUCCESS.Â* The sailplane tracker DOES work using
Firefox as the browser.Â* No need to log into SSA as a member.Â* Does
NOT work in Chrome or Explorer.


The SSA tracker is just a 'friendly' front end on top of glideport.aero,
which adds some branding.Â* I've always had better luck going directly to
the source.

Funny though, the two ways to look at the same tracking show things with
different units. Glideport shows elevations in meters, and the SSA
overlay shows it in feet. Clearly the underlying tech allows choice of
units - does anybody know how to do it from the user interface?
