![]() Here's are the URLS for SPOT tracking at Perry. Google Earth KML - http://perrytracking.appjet.net/files/perrytracking.kml Google Maps HMTL - http://perrytracking.appjet.net/files/perrytracking.htm The Google Maps link (the one that ends with .HTM) and it will open Google Maps in a browser window and show the waypoints, task, and tracking info from any active SPOT units (nothing at the moment, of course). To view the Google Earth version you need to first download the .kml file using the above link, and then double-click on it to run it in Google Earth. Of course, you'll need Google Earth installed on your PC to do this ;-). Using either method, anyone anywhere can watch the action at Perry in real time. Mark or I will make sure each day's task is displayed on the Google Maps and Google Earth presentation. f you have a SPOT unit or are thinking of getting one, this is a great way to enhance your personal safety odds in the event of a mishap, and increase the visibility of the sport in general. I If you have a SPOT but don't know how to configure it for display on the above sites, I'll be happy to help. I'll be at Perry starting about the 16th. Frank (TA) |
