  11. 2009 XC-Open World Series Some important rules from our experience • You must always send an „OK“ before your flight and after landing • If you don‘t send an „OK“ message after your flight and 2 positions of SPOT are in the same place, it is a sign of distress for your buddies • This is why the mobile phone website shows the last 2 positions; you can see if the pilot has moved or not • There were gaps of up to 40 min in the live tracking – the reasons could be various • For more information go to www.findmespot.com
