Trackers at WGC 2014 Leszno

Each day, 15 sailplanes from one class will carry a tracker provided by the Contest. Today it will be the Open Class and DB will be equipped. Here's the link: http://live.way.aero/wgc_leszno_2014/ Link is also available at the upper left corner of the WGC Leszno Web Page: "Live Tracking System"

Thanks Dennis,

Just watching DB finish now. Great stuff!

And there are quite a few pilots using Spots and InReach too. http://glideport.aero/wgc2014

If you view 15meter pilots you can see 011 using an IPhone 4S to transmit 4 second tracking resolution in real time on GlidePort.aero! Watched him make a low save yesterday and today! 011 is the GlidePort developer flying for his native country of Serbia.

If you don't have the link go to glideport.aero - Poland - click on the aero club and the click on WGC contest. That will get you to the map with the tasks.

You can use the same technology by downloading the free app in the Apple Store.

- Not to take away from this great project, but isn't the signal spotty? My ATT iPhone wireless service works up to about 4,100ft msl around midwest and this barrier has been pretty consistent - regardless of tower region I found myself flying around.

Works better if you get low every so often.
