Way.Aero has him crossing 35 miles inside Mexico. Can't use any of the 3 sites I'm viewing to "watch" the race in real-time. Often you'll see gliders stationary for 15-20min, then jump at Mach 2 to a forward position. Where's the technology they had in New Zealand? http://tracking.way.aero/wgc2012/

These sites are intentionally delayed so that the information is not available for tactical purposes.

Refreshing the page (F5) resolved the visual glitch. still see the possible low save.

True. And not all contestants are consistent with their Spot or who's tracker they're subscribed to. Some teams--located in their "hidden" offices--have pretty powerful base stations to communicate on discreet frequencies. The FCC worked out permits for all of them so they could "stay in touch" with their pilots.

This must be true, 'cause I was at one of the distant turnpoints today
(near Kerrville) and nothing made sense when comparing Spot tracking
with the evolving real-time flightpaths.

The uncoordinated delay of the Spot tracking makes for poor spectator
participation, it would seem. I understand about the need for being
stealthy for tactical purposes, but why not record all the pilot logs
the same and broadcast them with a coordinated delay (15 or 30min) so
we know how the contest is playing out in "semi" real time? Tivo-
tracking? With SeeYou, isn't it possible for us to upload all/some of
the individual logs and view them in 2D or 3D?

Yes SeeYou allows for multiple logs to be loaded and displayed

581 km task is way cool!
