Hi All,
For those of you wondering about glider flight tracking options this year. I suggest watching the Seminole Lake Gliderport activity so see an example of a number of technologies all in one place.
Here is the link

Pilots with Spot
AXC,FH,G1,F6,KM,N1K,U
Pilots with InReach
DK,nb?
Pilots with Cell phone data
U (Roman has both Spot and a Cell phone)
No single solution is perfect. I suggest you watch the traces and see the delays and information provided by each technology.
Some of my personal observations
* Spot doesn't have altitude
* InReach appears to be the most consistent regarding delays. It has altitude
* Cell has the richest data but can be highly variable in delays.
