We are glad to announce that we have implemented the use of SPOT satellite trackers for events choosing Airtribune as live tracking platform. Tracking information obtained by SPOT will be equally used for live tracking with GSM tracker or Android app forming a single track for each participant. This option will help to cover events held in discontinuous and no GSM zones. As soon as SPOT tracker sends data the pilot will be automatically relocated to new position received via satellite. And when GSM signal restores the full track of the pilot will replace “straight” SPOT track revealing the flight route in detail with all taken cylinders.

As always setup is easy both for organizers and pilots. When SPOT tracking option is turned on for an event, SPOT input field appears in registration. Participants just copy-paste their “SPOT share” link to connect device to a comp. Organizers can update and modify this data from administrative part as well, having access to a full list of “SPOT share” links of all participants.

If you are interested in having SPOT tracking at your event please contact support@airtribune.com.
