Anyone know of some good apps for the Kindle for SPOT tracking? I've searched but couldn't find anything. Of course you can always just use the browser, but it seems to be a bit wonky.

I've been noticing some weirdness with SPOT lately. If I go to my SPOT Shared Page, it sometimes looks like my SPOT isn't tracking for long stretches. When I look at the same run through my SPOT Buddy app on my iPhone, all of the tracking points are there. Really? The 3rd party apps work better than SPOT's own site?

I'm trying to compile some alternatives to the WaterTribe tracker for family. By far, the WaterTribe tracker is the best for following the EC, but it does tend to have issues at some point during the EC due to the high traffic. I will confess to being part of the problem in past years, obsessivly hitting the refresh button every 5 minutes all day ;-)

What other SPOT tracking options/apps are out there?

I'm sold on Spot Buddy, but it is only available for iOS devices. My favorite feature is the ability to add as many SPOT tracker IDs as you want, which you can not do with SPOTs own tracking app.

I have never had an issue with Spot Buddy no matter how many IDs I load it down with.

Macatawa.... How do you show multiple tracks at the same time using SPOT Buddy ?

Mobile post, so I hope this works...
I don't have any active trackers to demo, but below is a screen shot of the tracker screen

You load trackers by pressing the horizontal lines icon, you will see this:

You can tap the names to make them hidden or visible.

I hope this helps; if not, I can try for a better explanation when I'm at my computer.
