You have to connect your device to Spotwalla. There are detailed instructions on the site on how to do it.

One result is a pretty messy "Show All" Spotwalla map....

A horrible problem to have, I'm sure.

Alright. I replied to a profile post from you earlier. Where do you want to do this?

Yeah, I guess I could run mine 24/7, but don't really want all those points on my map... just want to see and relive where I've "travelled" by motorcycle. Don't really want to see and relive my commute.

In the new SpotWalla site you have the ability to specify the density/fill of the locations. It's the difference between something that looks like this...



And something like this...



Or even this...

Once you have a Spotwalla account, you have to register your devices, including the swconnect phone, in order to get the pings to show up on Spotwalla. Inreach, Spot and swconnect will automatically show up on their own systems, not Spotwalla.

And remember... the old SpotWalla site has a limited lifetime. Migrating to the new site is critical. And if you're an SWConnect user, you will want to install the SWTracker app from RV Tech Tools. It's a rebranded version of SWConnect that knows how to talk to the new site. Likewise, if you're a Bubbler GPS user, you will want to install the Bubbler GPS New app from the app store. It's the version of Bubbler that knows how to talk to the new site.

This is GREAT! Will this capability find its way to the View page or will it remain solely a trip settings function?

Edit to add: I ask because I am still timing out at 100% on my G'z One track but would like to occasionally maximize the number of points I display without having to go back and forth between the View and the Settings to find one that works...

....and there it is. I swear that button was not there five minutes ago.

Indeed....
