I wasn’t there and wasn’t involved in setting things up. I have used both systems, and both have strong points - they were designed for different (but overlapping) purposes from different ends of the problem.
SlyLines is my personal choice for tracking myself instead of using spot or similar. XCsoar can use either system if required, or anything else if you re-code it However, for setting up tracking for a comp, LiveTrack24 is far superior in what can be done and ease of use for the organisation as well as presentation for the viewer. The problems I’ve had have not been with the actual web sites, but with the quality of tracking available - relying on 2g or 3g signals (Telstra is rapidly phasing out 2g totally and some trackers use 2g only), and also on placement of the device - move it 5mm and it stops working. A suggestion to those whinging - if you want to see reliable tracking, put up some cash and pay for a service that works reliably all the time and provide the team to run it rather than rely on an already overworked volunteer organiser who has many priorities above this. > On 20 Nov 2015, at 22:24 , Peter F Bradshaw <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi; > > I've had problems with Livetrack as well.
