Keeping Track

Flymaster tracker

The Flymaster Retrieve System is a web platform, within our live tracking service which, working in conjunction with the Telegram mobile application, allows event organizers and group owners to track their pilots in real time, as well as do all the management of retrievals. Is extremely easy to use for organizers, pilots and retrieve vehicles.

Comparing the two trackers

Comparing the two trackers

Satellite Vs. Cellular network

Airtribune|Flymaster tracker|Spot2 tracker|SpotX tracker|tracker

The spotX can provide a track point up to every 2.5 minutes (with the more expensive plan). The Flymaster tracker updates every two seconds. So for those of you watching an event or a pilot fly, live tracking is much more interesting with the Flymaster tracker.

The spotX doesn't have to worry about the reliability of the cellular network to get your current location. The Flymaster tracker needs a network (or set of cellular networks) that can reliably be connected to while high above the cellular towers if you want actual live tracking while flying.

Both can make good connections if you are on the ground (the tracker if you are in a cellular coverage area).

The spotX works in the back country away from cellular coverage areas.

The spot2 (which I have), at least, doesn't provide altitude information.

You can see the respective costs above.

See how they are doing now here: https://lt.flymaster.net/

We await another test of the Flymaster 3G trackers (and cellular network) with pilots flying cross country from Cowboy Up in Wharton, Texas: https://airtribune.com/cuhanggliding/blog and at the Flymaster site above.

And the Canadian Nationals: https://airtribune.com/2018-yamaska-open/blog and at the Flymaster site above.

The tracks from spots and the tracker can both be displayed on the Airtribune web site.

Seems like an obviously needed update. Certainly nice to be able to read more waypoint formats.

The BUDDIES feature allows you to follow your flying buddies in real time. You will know where they are, how high they are, if they have landed and even if they don't have network coverage. All this on your instrument's display.

It isn't obvious how to get the IMEI number

The number needed for data transfer over your cellular connection isn't on the unit.

Ricardo Vassmer <<rvassmer>> writes:

For the Flymaster tracker it is necessary to contact them directly.

https://www.flymaster-avionics.com/page/tracker

Number is not in the box, manual or anywhere in the device. Also on Airtribune it is necessary to put the complete 6 digit serial number. If you only put the last 5 it won’t work.
