Default New Feature for Spot Users

Hi,

New - Shared Pages
On May 23, 2008 Spot released a new feature for Spot users and their friends
and families. You can now create up to 10 Shared Pages which can each
display different information from your Spot or multiple Spot units (in the
same account). The pages can display OK, Help and track messages all on the
same page, or you can select any combination of those messages for display.

You can see an example Spot Shared Page he

Unfortunately, the feature does not make it possible to view Spot units from
multiple users on the same map. I believe they will be adding that feature
in the future. There are also several third party companies working on
solutions for displaying multiple Spot units from different user accounts on
the same map. I'm looking forward to seeing that because it will be fun to
view all the local soaring club glider positions on a single map.

Good Soaring,

Great!
To me this improvement makes the track progress "spotcasting" option
a good one.
On big days this will be as cool (or not, if you're stuck at work) as
when Doug Armstrong was e-mailing updates on Gordie Boettger's
progress during his record wave flight.
The multiple-unit view will be even better, but for now clubs and
FBOs can use individual browser tabs.
Already sold my antique Personal ELT on E-Bay. Kept the pouch, as Spot
fits in it.
