If you have the website address that lets you view a persons trail on either the Spot or DeLorme/Garmin websites, you can use the website address to quickly add a tracking device in Spot Buddy.
Spot websites are referred to as Shared Pages and inReach websites are called MapShares.
I have a Sharing Website Address
In Spot Buddy, ensure you are viewing the map screen. Tap the Menu button and select the Trackers option. You will see a list of configured trackers. It may be empty if you haven't added any trackers yet.
Now, follow these steps:
- Tap the + button located in the top right corner of the screen. A list of options will appear.
- Select Add Using Website Address. The Add Tracker screen will appear.
- Enter a name in the Tracker Name field. You can enter anything you like but don't leave it empty.
- Enter the website address in the Website Address field. Rather than typing it, it is recommended that you copy and paste it so to avoid making a mistake.
- Enter the Password if one was provided to you. Otherwise leave it empty.
- Tap the Save button. You will then return to the Trackers screen and the tracker name should be visible.
- Tap the Done button to return to the map screen.
- You should now notice the tracker in the list at the bottom of the map screen. Tap on it and you should see the trail on the map.
If you do not see any trails on the map, please see the Troubleshooting Guide.
