Real Time Chart of the Gato Verde
This is a cool new feature we’ve just implemented. On the Gato Verde we’ve got a transponder that sends a signal every 10 minutes or so and it is logged in a database so that we know where the boat is. The company that makes this transponder is called SPOT and they created a new map sharing tool that allows us to safely share the near-real-time position of the Gato Verde.
I don’t have it confirmed yet, but I think I just saw the GV sail past Lime Kiln. When I look at the SPOT chart it seems possible. It’s fun to look at the chart, listen to Orcasound, and watch the Orcacam.
