Positions from Satellite Trackers like SPOT or Delorme InReach

At present time (January 2015) we support the livetracking devices 'SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger' and 'SPOT Connect' an Delorme InReach Trackers. All other devices which are based on mobile phone coverage like 'Flymaster Livetracker' or Smart Phone Apps (e.g. Gaggle) are not supported. With the 'SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger' or Delorme you are not dependent on a mobile radio network. SPOT and Delorme Messengers work on a satellite base... a big PRO!

When you own a 'Satellite Tracker' like SPOT or Delorme set up your 'Public Shared Page' on your Tracker account. Simply join a pilot group or a club who uses our service (submit the link to the group Administrator).
- Or build your own pilot group and apply for a new account! Please note that all of the pilots in your group know this site and its livetracking link - and every pilot must know that he/she appears on this site as a member of a livetracking group! The webservice is for free!!

Livetracking groups

Wherarethepilots.com and the app is useful for paraglider pilots, hanglider pilots or other pilot groups who have "SPOT Satellite GPS Messengers" (or "SPOT Connect Devices") and DeLorme Satellite Trackers. On the webpage "wherearethepilots.com" you can present all the live tracks of your group on one single webpage. This is not possible with your personal tracker account - on "wherearethepilots.com" you can manage all links from your group and bring the whole group or several smaller teams on one single Google Maps page.
