spot problems

is anyone else having a problem viewing spot tracking??? Been trying to follow a couple of spot trackings that I know are flying and I get a blank screen.. had a screen load once this morning and show spot tracks at JC but when the tracks get to 50 they stop... haven't had that happen before..now I get nothing but a blank gray screen..

Re: spot problems

I just checked mine it is fine. I left it on for 4 days which was a waste of good batteries.

Cheers

Re: spot problems

Had mine on during all flying on the JC trip. Did not show any tracking at all. The "I'm OK" messages came thru with locations on the map, but no "bread crumb" tracking.

Re: spot problems

yeah seems there have been other complaints along this line... blank screens, only 50 tracks then it quits.. I checked a couple guys spots this weekend and all I got was a gray screen.. then once this morning I got Robs spot as he walked around his campsite but nothing after that and no trip home ... My "I'm OK" check went through but I got no tracking till my wife logged into the spot site and tried to complain or fix it.. then miraculously all my tracks from today came up as did Rob's trip to troutdale from JC..seems to be working now.. hope it works when I go to JC july 18th...

Re: spot problems

I had the exact same problems and contacted findmespot and they said to get rid of internet explorer and try google chrome and voila, everything working like it should. Ithink that is why it is working on some computers and not others.
