SSA sailplane tracker - too complex
Don't use the live sailplane tracker for "emergency" location of a particular pilot. On the SSA website, under "member resources", there's a "*911* Sailplane Locator" option. Enter the pilot's name or contest number, and you have the simple view.
The live tracker is to be used to get the big picture, and many people love the 3D entertainment it provides. -Tom On Sunday, July 24, 2016 at 8:55:18 PM UTC-7, wrote: I want someone else, such as a non-flying non-technical spouse to be able to go to the SSA website and look for me by name or contest number and find what farm field or dry lake in the desert i am in without cell phone service. Nothing fancy, this is supposed to be a SAFETY system, not some 3D animated entertainment system! Make the basic safety part work, make the fancy other stuff optional. Chris
