SSA Sailplane Tracker
I'm trying to understand this:
Spot and InReach are both tracked by satellites, right?Â* So how is it an improvement to have OGN, which relies on local receivers and antennae, to receive those two trackers?Â* There will certainly not be OGN nodes set up across the Great Basin in sufficient quantity to keep track of gliders operating there.Â* Heck, even around Moriarty, one must fly in covered areas to be assured of being tracked by OGN assuming he's got Flarm installed.Â* There are enough gliders here without Flarm to assume that they're carrying one of the tracking devices...

Nick T I have been told by an informed and reliable source that OGN is on the cusp of releasing an upgrade that will enable SPOT and InReach data to be tracked. Unsure of exact timeframe but this could solve a lot of issues. -- Dan, 5J |
