How does it work?

On pressing START Tracker will start running. The button changes to STOP and a text message (SMS) is immediately sent if enabled. Your positions are recorded once you have then moved the specified distance, or immediately if set to 0m. A further text message is also sent at this moment, and then at the specified intervals thereafter.

If selected, your position is also sent up to Livetrack24 and/or the Open Glider Network.

If no network is present when Tracker tries to send information, it will do so when it next sees a network. Once sent, normal timing resumes.

When STOP is pressed or the application exits, any changed network settings are restored. A final "stop" text message is sent for the last known position and remaining positions uploaded as soon as it is possible. The button will momentarily change to ABORT during this time before returning to START. If you are not likely to have a network for some time, you can choose to press this - but you will lose any outstanding messages and positions.

Recently added, pressing the SOS button will also start tracking and send SMS to any of the selected SMS recipients you have selected (even if text tracking not currently selected).

Progress is shown on screen:
