Current Locations of Soar Truckee Gliders
Gliders equipped with SPOT satellite tracking devices uplink location telemetry every 10 minutes to Globalstar low earth orbiting satellites. SPOT currently sends only
latitude and longitude data and not altitude. GPS positions are then
down linked to SPOT servers and are superimposed on Google maps. SPOT is capable of displaying the track of one glider on a map at a time. The ability to display multiple tacks on a single map like a radar screen is currently in development.
Additional information about SPOT can be found here.
