I'll do some more tests to see if it really happens. All of the paths we followed we're not marked on the map. <br /><br />Steven: Thanks for your feedback! Using a phone sounds like a good option if you have enough coverage and electricity supply where you're trekking. I don't, so I need to rely on satellites and units with long battery life. Haven't heard about Social Hiking - I'll give it a try! I like custom solutions based on open components as it allows me to adapt the site to my needs. <br /><br />Bernie: Thanks for your comment. I'll add support for real-time photos to the Leaflet.Instagram plugin. As noted above, we did not always follow a marked trail. <a href="http://blog.thematicmapping.org/2014/06/testing-real-time-mapping-on.html" rel="nofollow">On our second trip</a>, I followed your suggestion and brought a Garmin GPS (track marked in blue). It shows that the positions from the SPOT is quite accurate, but it has some trouble in dense woods. <br />Bjørn Sandvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080335362672606377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741970181714760187.post-37442183513339528582014-06-13T14:43:10.012+01:002014-06-13T14:43:10.012+01:00I had to refresh my browser periodically to get la...I had to refresh my browser periodically to get latest photos. The accuracy of the Spot GPS appears to be poor. The position reports often did not appear to be near the mapped trail. It would be interesting to compare the Spot positions to a track recorded with a Garmin GPS.Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886343271053690941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741970181714760187.post-83137977505562671712014-06-13T12:18:32.200+01:002014-06-13T12:18:32.200+01:00I have been following your blog for ages and have ...I have been following your blog for ages and have learnt a lot or helped point me in the right direction. <br /><br />The live map is very similar to something I have been playing with for a while, my implementation uses OpenLayers 2 (moving it to v3), rather than leaflet and the locations are sent to a PostGIS database from my Android phone using a script I wrote in Tasker. Hopefully I will be buying a an InReach or a SPOT soon.<br /><br />I have used Social Hiking (http://www.shareyouradventure.com/) in the past and have contributed several ideas to it (peak bagging for instance). These days I maintain my own personal walking log and also log my car journeys. Your live map is far cleaner than Social Hiking or my own and look forward to seeing what you have planned for the future both in terms of live tracking and more widely mapping posts. Hope you have a good trip.Steven Hornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741861085080669677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741970181714760187.post-33430036541110998892014-06-13T10:31:50.327+01:002014-06-13T10:31:50.327+01:00Positions were not appearing on my browser, I had ...Positions were not appearing on my browser, I had to reload the page from time to time. Also, interestingly, the path you were following doesn't appear in your map?Marcos Dionehttp://www.grulic.org.ar/~mdione/glob/noreply@blogger.com
