Privately owned SPOT/InReach

If you are supplying your own tracker, we need to establish the unit's 'feed' from the below two items:

SPOT or InReach Share URL / XML Feed*

Please copy and paste your link. Your shared page should resemble the example in the field.

In 2020 SPOT removed the "share page" system and went to a new mapping platform. New mapping links of the form https://maps.findmespot.com/s/XXXX do not work with Trackleaders. Old style share page links are now called "XML Feeds" in the findmespot.com system and those are what we need. Existing share page links still work, or enter the 33 character XML Feed ID (last 33 characters of a share page). See examples and tutorial link below.

Important: Your Feed ID must look like one of these EXAMPLES.

SPOT

Share Page: http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0bdKrQlFXR4PRyJ6bxl0JDPjajW0qjjeR

XML Feed ID: 0bdKrQlFXR4PRyJ6bxl0JDPjajW0qjjeR

*Not* supported, newer map shares of this form: https://maps.findmespot.com/s/XXXX

InReach

https://share.garmin.com/YOURSHARENAME

If you do not have a PUBLIC (not password protected) feed of this form, tracking will NOT work.

To learn how to obtain an XML Feed for your SPOT tracker, please see this tutorial. For help with InReach, read this tutorial.

Data Disclaimer*

I understand location data transmitted from my SPOT device and broadcast to the online Event Tracker is unofficial and not intended to ensure Athlete safety. The live map is for entertainment purposes only.

After clicking the submit button, you will be redirected to Paypal to complete your registration. You will receive a confirmation email from "Trackleaders registration" (noreply@jotform.com) when all done.
