And importantly again, automatic tracking messages don't get sent to
via email or SMS messages. Those are the most interesting to me and
many other users. For those you need to provide whoever is going to be
tracking you login access to your SPOT account. Having to provide this
login into your main account is an oversight with the SPOT service and
something they need to change.


All owners need to send requests for this change to be implemented.
IMHO, this is very important to make the live track really useful, and
that means providing a "read only" login.

I've also asked for a method to fetch live tracks with automated
software so I or someone could create a website that would fetch
multiple tracks and display them on a single map. *This would be
invaluable for clubs and FBOs to be able to track their pilots.

and evenually this could be how contests are scored too. [would need
shorter interval but the idea/system is all there now]
