GlidePort World-Wide
I am pleased to announce that the public alpha version of GlidePort
web app is available to glider pilots, crews, gliding enthusiasts and spectators world-wide! * For general recreational / club flying, GlidePort lets you track gliders in near-real-time, see who's where on the map. - SPOT and inReach satellite tracking devices are currently supported. - Free! Register at glideport.aero, then enter your SPOT or inReach MapShare URL in the tracker settings page. * GlidePort makes gliding contests into more of a spectator sport. - View how competitors are doing relative to other pilots for the given day task. - Crews and spectators can now follow progress of their pilot and general race progress. * GlidePort lets you view historical tracking information. - Go back through time day-by-day, or animate flight tracks on the map by scrubbing through timeline. * GlidePort features world-wide glideport and turnpoint list databases. - View Leibacher turnpoint lists on the map, plan your flights, study terain, learn what's landable and what's not. GlidePort runs best in WebKit-based browsers such as Chrome (prefered) or Safari. Alternatively you can use Mozilla/Firefox (it works but not as well). Microsoft Explorer is not supported. GlidePort does not run on mobile devices currently, though that's coming shortly. To get started with GlidePort, go to http://glideport.aero and register. When you submit your registration information you will receive an activation email. Click the link in the email to complete the registration process. If you don't receive the registration email, check your spam folder. Once you register, go into the various settings pages to provide additional profile information as desired, configure your tracking device by entering SPOT or inReach MapShare URL, and specify your gliding club association. Go to the World Map page to see flight tracks world-wide and navigate to the glideport of your interest. GlidePort is available freely and publicly for personal use. See Terms of Use for details. For more information including the latest software development news, see the GlidePort blog. In the US SSA members can access GlidePort through the SSA website via the link on the main page for general US flight tracking, or via the links in the SSA contest page for contest tracking. Fly safe! |

Hello Pedja
Thank you for making this "watch" service available. I used your earlier version for the Worlds and found GPA an excellent interface. I would encourage SPOT/inReach owners to visit your site for a "test drive" and register their devices.
