SPOT Question

I took a little three leg trip. I used SPOT on all three legs. I went to my account on the SPOT web page to look at a map of my locations. I have 2 1/2 pages of locations and I can only print the map a page at a time. I want all the locations of the 2 1/2 pages on one map. I am sure it is pilot error.

I should have filed a flight plan then I would not be having this problem. :D

Re: SPOT Question

spot page does not allow you to do that, 50 locations per screen. The spot app for tablet and phone does allow it. Might check that out if you have a tab or a smart phone.

Re: SPOT Question

OK 50 per screen. I guess I cannot put more than one screen on a map at a time.

I have an InReach so I can't check myself, but maybe you would export, trim the list manually to the points for the trip in question and then render using google earth?

I have downloaded to a kml file and loaded into google earth. It is simple and works pretty good.

Re: SPOT Question

Make an account on SpotWalla.com - then you can do what you want. It takes a little bit of setup to associate your Spot with your spotwalla account, but then you can create "trips" easily that display on a map. And a trip can be something like "show every spot coordinate between date X and date Y". Works really well for multi-day trips (example below):
