Double click The  hyperlink above will take you to an online map where you will see a red flashing light or my name or my initials. When you click on my initials or name on the map you will be lead to my rider profile and if you scroll down in the rider profile see photos I have posted to the site as I work my way through the country, The red icons on the side of the page allow you to go various information pages. Don’t be afraid to click on see more information like my progress to date , and look at other riders and their progress.

My tracker sends out a new signal every 5 minutes so you can see if I am slacking.

Until the start on Saturday 26 Feb at 8 am it will shown me at start position at Cape Reinga. If you have a big enough display screen, like a large iPad or computer you will also see an elevation map that relates to the map area you are displaying. Zooming in on the map also zooms in the elevation map for more detail elevation views. Oh I see that NZ has a lots of hills and some steep and long.

 

You will arrive at page that looks a little like the photo below. Click on the yellow icon with my name or initials for my Rider Profile details.

 

 

This mapping software is best viewed on a desktop but you can follow on your phone /Ipad as well. If you struggle with software let me know and I may be able to help as I get to understand it better myself as the tour starts. It is really clever software and can show a lot of detail if wanted. it can show distances travelled, photos I post. Use two fingers to zero in where on the map you want to look , use fingers to zoom in or out.

 

Although the spotgen4 tracker devise sends a pulse every 5 minutes to satellites. It can takes a little time to show on map so not quite real time signal but pretty close. At times, like when under under tree cover, the signal won’t get thru. The tracker has an SOS function if required and I can send a couple of preset messages to family letting them that I am safe , or going to special place or indeed do need some help but not rescue helicopter stuff. The SOS function sets the whole national rescue process alight, so hope I aren’t setting that off 😀, you may hear about if it do.
