IBA Australia - 20th Anniversary 50CC Ride
- Thread starter Fatman
- Start date
Peter, the use of Spotwalla as a tool for IBA has been an exceptional step forward. The information provided in my previous post, was made with the full intent on ensuring all our LDRiders, here in Australia, are aware of the choice to share their information or not. The use of a Location Page, by a rider in this instance, is voluntary.
Hey TJ, tell me something I don't know.
I asked specifically about your concerns and you answered with content you have now typed in this thread three times. But you didn't answer the question.
Can you please expand on what "negative information" the Location page provides that can be used to discredit the IBA?
Can you please expand on "why you wish to publicly share your ride"? Its a public forum. You. You and Fatman and Skidoo and Derrick (see post #1) have chosen to have this ride up on a public forum. Ride Master is a public site. You know and support this via your position on IBA Australia management. The riders who are participating are publicly shown on the Ride Master page. Piglet is asking all to please use Spotwalla. I support all of this.
Your post was directed to "riders reasonably new to this sport of ours". Of the 16 participants currently signed up on Ride Master, you could only be reasonably referring to 2.
So please try again.

Hi Spaz,
As a starting point can you check the process with this outlined on the Spotwalla.com/help
https://new.spotwalla.com/help/devices#xml-feed-new
Under the section "Creating a SPOT XML Feed" this outlines the 4 steps to create the XML Feed in SPOT. Have a another go and see if this brings success. If no luck, PM me and we can talk it through in more detail.

Hi, just chipping in with a few comments in terms of the Location Page which has been setup for you to opt into (or not).
1. You set your displayed name, if you don't want that to publicly identify you, then use some random number or letters, the organisers will have a sheet of login names -> Display names, so for the purposes of being able to see where people are, they'll be the only ones who can decipher 'who is who'.
2. We have turned OFF Coordinate details on the bubble up windows, however the timestamps are still being shown so that they can tell if it's an old or current point.
3. Speed display in each person's location point's details have been removed.
4. The location page ONLY shows one point per person at any given time, there's no history showing, so for anyone to take a detailed interest in 'how you're moving along', would require them to actively monitor then manually rebuild points.
5. We have offered to place a 'view' password on that page, but we know from previous usage that if the riders want to take an interest in where others are, that it becomes prohibitive to taking a look while you're on the ride, whereas refreshing a page / using a link might be usable. (Your choice how you use your devices).
6. The Location page is not searchable on the SpotWalla website, it has not been made 'Public' apart from the link showing in here.
7. I didn't personally expect that the links would be shared in this forum, so if it'll make a difference, to y'all - we could rip that LP down, make a new one, then only email you the link details and not publish them here (personally, that's what I had expected would be done and how we've done things for our NZ rides.
If we did 5 and 7, then I believe that all of TJ's potential concerns might be alleviated, but I'll leave that for him to comment on.

Well its nearly crunch time, been a while since I did a 50cc. Went right over the bike this weekend, stripped the telelever and rebuilt it,
serviced the proverbial out of the old girl, put some new shoes on her and did a quick 150 k to scrub them in, fitted the Aux tank up,
so I'll be a super tanker. She will turn 200,000k on this run and judging by how well she did today I thinks shes even keener than me.
See y'all at the guiding star where it would appear we have taken over the place.
PS Bec seeing as this is practically a dead straight run, I cant see any issue with using the premier verification process so will embed all the relevant docs into my spot track, there will be only 8, and submit from my phone on Sunday. If that's a problem please advise.
Cheers
Vlad

This helpful (USA) IBA resource might be useful for anyone who's wanting to opt into using SpotWalla to track their ride (to ease verification) - it outlines how to embed receipts and other photos using your cellphone apps into the Trip. - Covering both BubblerGPS Pro (Android) and SWTracker (iOS):

I'm joining you all on this ride also. Staying Thursday night at the Guiding Star and Friday at Marla, then somewhere in Darwin. Looking forward to it.
Thank you to those that have organised the ride, provided road reports and special thanks to PillionPiglet and all the others that review/verify our rides. What a terrific contribution.
