GRAN PRIX DEL ATLÁNTICO 2010
In Atlantic we are very glad that we’ve been selected once again to track the boats in the 2010 edition of the Gran Prix regatta.
Motivated by the success in the former edition, we will be introducing a few improvements in order to add more participative and safety related features to the tracking webpage.
Among them we’ll introduce our Iridium messaging twitter service. Please sign up here and visit our page here to know more.
ANAVRE
Just a few words tu support from here ANAVRE, the new Spanish Association of leisure boaters, that is born willing to defend the rights of both users and owners of leisure boats.
They have started pushing strong and we rely from both the user and the company-in-the-industry point of view that they will turn this activity in a right in itself and not in a luxury for a few ones as it is seen in Spain at the moment.
Sat messaging
Our satellite messaging service allows any user to send greeting SMS, SOS messages or comments about a boat trip so that they can be read in our satellite tracking web page.
If you want to try it out, just sign up for the service here.
The messages can be sent in three ways:
- From the web after signing up.
- By setting your Iridium or Thuraya mobile satellite phone.
- By setting your GSM mobile telephone, although obviously you will have no coverage if you are sailing far from the coast.
New satellite tracking
You can follow in localizatodo in “Barcos satélite” or “Satellite boats” new journeys:
1) A new boating tourism project in Morocco has been launched from La Taberna del Puerto and you can track its journey in localizatodo with the name “Flotilla de la amistad” or “Friendship Fleet”.
2) Also Consorci el Far, dedicated to the promotion and teaching of sailing, has joined our team of tracking enthusiasts by installing one of our transponders on board in its ship currently traveling in the Med, at this moment at the island of Sardinia.
We hope them the very best journey
