Hi Lynn,

That is great news. I had not heard that.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

Actually Paul, that is incorrect. Spot, starting with Gen 3 sends altitude data -- just not on their own web site. The altitude isn't displayed on the user's Spot shared web page, but is included in the JSON feeds used by glideport.aero and the SSA tracker, as well as on my own home brewed tools.. I can assure you that it really is the accurate glider altitude, not the terrain elevation. I have flown with it and used it for almost a year now..

Some Gen 3 users may need to update their firmware to get it to work. And I have noticed that some older Gen 3 units seem to have occasional dropouts on the altitude data. Newer ones seem more reliable.
