Finally starting to get the hang of how the SPOT actually works.
Have to learn to press the button a LOT more often to really get a proper track of where you are.
The Automatic Tracking feature doesn't seem to work for me nearly as well as the manual one does.

I liked the autotrack it gave good routes for Google Earth.
How was the loop?

I used the autotrack on my last ride.
The two downsides were.

1. I could never get it to load and display ALL of the points from the day.

2. We can't capture and share that data here on SnoWest.

Was it only loading the first 50 Tracks? If so you need to go to next page or pages and make sure they are checked.

As for tracks you could do as I did here and link my spot page to the first check-in in the morning. But thats only good for 30 days.

I went through the multiple pages and ticked each report.
It just didn't want to graph them all at the same time on the google earth map.

If I reduced the number of way points then it would throw them up on the map just fine.

Just seemed ODD to me.
