Tracker

CommunicationsText messagesAll the messages are like the following example, reporting time and position relative to when tracking started: 0h20m 90%: 9.8km 357deg 235ft, N52 10.415N E0 1.229 (at 0h19m, accuracy 8m), http://maps.google.com/maps?q=52.17360,0.02049 Here, the tracker was started (and subsequently first moved) 20 minutes ago, has 90% battery, and we are now 9.8km from that point at a bearing of 357 degrees. We are at 235 feet at the given latitude and longitude (decimal minutes) which was determined 19 minutes after starting and to an accuracy of 8m. Clicking on the link on a smartphone will take you to Google Maps and show your position. The different types of text messages sent are as follows:
LiveTrack24Once you have registered on its website, you can also track to http://www.livetrack24.com. Track data is logged every 1 or 3 seconds and sent every two minutes, or more often if OGN or PureTrack selected, if conditions permit. To synchronise delayed data LiveTrack24 only shows data up to two minutes old, so once running this will appear as a continuous 'live' track (assuming in cell coverage). My 'wall' of tracks can be found at http://www.livetrack24.com/tracks/username/rnhunt Open Glider NetworkA position is logged into OGN every 30 seconds and sent at least every minute if conditions permit. It is recommended and requested that you register yourself a "device" at http://ddb.glidernet.org using a random 6-digit "hex" number for "Device ID" generated at https://numbergenerator.org/hex-code-generator. If you do not have one you can leave this blank. You will then be trackable on sites and apps that show this information such as GliderRadar.com and GliderNet
PureTrackWith this option selected, a position is logged every 3 seconds and sent every 30 seconds and sent to https://puretrack.io/. You must have a "Device ID" for this service, the same one is used as for OGN above. You must "Add a tracker" on the website using this "Device ID". Note that you could instead just add as an OGN device if want less frequent position uploads.
