I've been trying to get Glideport to work with adsb:myICAO too and have had no luck with it. I've sent a message to support a few days ago and no answer yet. Since I have adsb I really think this is the way to do it. I seem to never remember to turn on my phone app. Has anyone been able to use this feature.

As far as I know this feature was never implemented although the UI gives you this option.
I understand that there is currently no development and no support for glideport which is a shame since it begs integration with ADS-B and OGN. Ramy |

What is the advantage of OGN if you have a InReach or Spot Tracker thats tied into Glideport and whoever else you want to link to? Nick T |

OGN provides instantaneous detailed trace as long as you are within range (typically up to 50 miles but can be much further)
Inreach/spot are usually every 10 minutes and can often be delayed up to 1 hour. Ramy |

Nick T I have been told by an informed and reliable source that OGN is on the cusp of releasing an upgrade that will enable SPOT and InReach data to be tracked. Unsure of exact timeframe but this could solve a lot of issues. |
