This is the link to my personal tracking page with Delorme InReach aviation data plan.



Delorme provides:



1 minute update cycles vs. 10 for spot :-(

Airspeed - spot nada

Altitude - spot nada

Heading - spot nada



Spot is really designed for people on hikes moving slowly along in remote area's.



Delorme is better suited for aviation.



The experience of following a flight with 1 minute updates, heading, altitude and airspeed is far more enjoyable, meaningful and FUN that watching spot. My experience is that very few people even bother watching spot tracking flights because it is so boring. If we all had InReach it would be much more fun to follow along.



Just sayin...

Watching 2 pigeons trying to have sex in a Wal Mart parking lot is more entertaining then watching anyone with an InReach or Spot flying around............IMHO!
