Spot is screwed up!
 

When I opened Skip's Spot page, it showed his position as just outside the
channel off Maidstone Park, LI.

I went away and left it running and when I came back his position had
radically changed to show him only 1/3 of the distance from Plum Island to
Maidstone Park, all his fixes changed from when the page opened!

Spot's web page is screwed up....and, obviously, cannot be trusted to
render properly.

I think it's you, Larry. G

I'm following Skip's path. At 6:10 PM , He's in Mattituck Inlet headed
for the anchorage at the head.

I have no idea what you are looking at.

Here's the link I use to get to his page:

Same link. Tonight I'm showing him back in CT headed upriver 18 mins ago.

Not sure why the other tracks happened. it's crazy. All came from the
same stored webpage and all said Flying Pig on them.

I've been running mine all summer and checking it and have been following
Skip's closely. I have yet to see an inaccurate fix (allowing for it being
non-WAAS) fix. Nor can do I see the problem with Skip's positions that you
describe.

Hmm....it was listed at 18 minutes ago when I looked at it. Most amusing.

I just checked this morning, and I can see Skip's path through the
night as he swung on his anchor in the Mattituck Anchorage.

I think Larry needs to purge his browser cache or something...

I just saw this thread and am totally in the dark this stuff. None of
the links worked for me but I did link to findmespot and it sounds neat.

If there is a working link, I'd appreciate an update. I am not registered
there. Is that a problem?

Try this, no registration required:

The URL previously posted "wrapped around" to a second line so it gets
cut off if you click on it.

Spot is screwed up!
 

When I click on that ( http://tinyurl.com/6c6w8q ) or manually type it into
IE or Firefox, I get a page with the orange findmespot logo across the top
but the rest is blank.

In IE there is a note at bottom that says "done" but there is a yellow
triangle with an exclamation mark in it.

In Firefox it just says "done"

I do run some antispyware, malware, ad blockers, etc.

Thanks,

Chet

Wait a bit. The pages say "Done" before they have loaded everything and are
sometimes slow. The tracking feature is still in beta.

I sometimes have had difficulties with googlemaps. There's something
which stops it from loading maps in Firefox, but I don't recall the
solution.

Do a google on the subject with FireFox specifics and it will come up,
I believe. I cured my problem...

Off to explore Mattituck in a soft rain...

Thanks for the replies. The url's didn't work on my desktop (Windows XP
SP2) but I took them to my laptop (Vista Home Premium) and they work fine.
I have less antispyware/adblockers/etc. on the Vista machine or maybe I just
got lucky but I'll experiment.

Interesting program. I'm sending info to a friend who spends a LOT of time
in quite isolated places, alone.

Java script turned off? The page does need it.
