Coast to Coast can be tracked LIVE!!

We have been testing our live tracking and it now seems to be working. Basically Mark has a Garmin GPS watch that can connect to an app on his iPhone. The watch sends location info at regular intervals to the app and this in turn posts it to a live link whenever we have an internet connection. So each day we will start the session going and post the link on all the social media sites, this blog and the Pendleside Hospice web site. All you have to do is click the link and it will show you a map in your web browser with our location and our progress so far that day. At the top it shows the distance walked  and time taken and at the bottom in the blue bar you can view various graphs of the progress.

With the walk going through some remote areas the live feed will be intermittent but once an internet connection is established the route and location will be brought up to date. Don’t you just love technology 🙂
