GPS Tracker

Postby mitten on Sun Mar 06, 2011 10:53 am

Has anyone tried opening their GPS Tracker yet?

I see some on FB are saying that they already can see active trackers (ie. the trailbreakers).

When I open it, I see the map but no trackers, no racers even listed at all. Just a message:

"Not an Insider member yet?

I am already a member and I am currently logged into Insider. Confused.

I just refreshed the GPS map and the trailbreaker showed up, along with the list of mushers. Whew! Did yours refresh?

The Teacher on the Trail has a GPS Tracker this year. All you school teachers take note. Her flag shows TOT.

Tracking devices are being activated in Willow. Looks like they're up and running now -- we're going to switch the URLs. But here it is, for the anxious:

Already a few that aren't updating. I hope they get checked before they leave.

I do like that the tracker shows both my local time and Alaska time. I don't think it did that before -- or am I halucinating already?

Looks like the teams are headed South and they're not following the Red Line on our tracker. Wonder if at some time they'll come together?
