![]() Here's are the URLS for SPOT tracking at Perry. Google Earth KML - http://perrytracking.appjet.net/files/perrytracking.kml Google Maps HMTL - http://perrytracking.appjet.net/files/perrytracking.htm The Google Maps link (the one that ends with .HTM) and it will open Google Maps in a browser window and show the waypoints, task, and tracking info from any active SPOT units (nothing at the moment, of course). To view the Google Earth version you need to first download the .kml file using the above link, and then double-click on it to run it in Google Earth. Of course, you'll need Google Earth installed on your PC to do this ;-). Using either method, anyone anywhere can watch the action at Perry in real time. Mark or I will make sure each day's task is displayed on the Google Maps and Google Earth presentation. f you have a SPOT unit or are thinking of getting one, this is a great way to enhance your personal safety odds in the event of a mishap, and increase the visibility of the sport in general. I If you have a SPOT but don't know how to configure it for display on the above sites, I'll be happy to help. I'll be at Perry starting about the 16th. Frank (TA) |

Frank (TA) Frank, did you develop the multiple spot tracking app? BTW I will be sailing up from SC to RI in about a week, and you can follow us (RR, 3S and Z8 at 0ft and going slow) at www.tinyurl.com/SC2RI in a week or so... Rick RR PS then don't call me the Commodore for nothing ;-) |

All,
This is just a reminder that the below that my tracking application is active for Perry. Tomorrow is the official practice day at Perry and you will be able to following those SPOT-equipped participants using the below links on both Google Earth and Google Maps. There are only 6 SPOTS currently registered but Frank will undoubtedly be getting more into the system tomorrow and the following day. Later! -Mark On Apr 9, 7:25*am, Frank wrote: Here's are the URLS for SPOT tracking at Perry.

This is WAY too cool, and I love seeing the task, the hybrid version
of the map with street/hwy names, etc., and the plans identified. What a WONDERFUL bit of work. I just watched KM over Opie Road, outside of the 2nd turnpoint radius. GREAT WORK... I already loved Google Earth, but now even more. THANK YOU Mark and Frank! Micki Minner Contest manager of many forthcoming contests! HINT HINT HINT to any region 9 guy there at Perry! |
