Can anyone answer the original question? Has anyone tried
this feature and how did it work? I was actually curious...
And how does it actually work, as in how does it communicate from one
device to the other. People have alluded to it transmitting over the
radio, do both gliders also need to be on the same radio freq.? etc. etc.

thanks,
Jim

Flying this weekend in a new area it was difficult to keep track of
where each other was, thought about using the team location feature in
SYM. I've copied the details on how it works below. Has anyone tried

6.17 Team
The Team feature in SeeYou Mobile will help you find or hide your
teammate. It lets you share your
position with other pilots and even encrypt this information so that
your competitors won't be able to
decode it.
To use it:
.. Enable the "Team Position Code (Team)" Navbox in Menu Next
Navboxes . Or use Menu
Next Team from the main menu.
.. Go to the map view and tap on the Team navbox.
.. Team dialog opens. You need to press Setup before first use.
.. Press Select to select a source waypoint for the calculation. It is
imperative that your teammate does
the same.
.. If you would like to hide the information from others, enter the
Encryption key. Again, both or all
pilots have to share the same key.
Go fly. When asked about your position, answer "One-Kilo-Bravo-
Yankee". Your teammate will tap the
Team navbox, enter the code and say "Thanks" while others won't have
a
clue unless they have the
key
