Wrote an API and some web services code to extend the functionality of GlobalStar's Find Me SPOT satellite beacon. The FindMeSPOT beacon is a great piece of gear but it is seriously lacking in any sort of web or data syndication functions. The new weknowsnow SPOT API will allow you to send us your SPOT data in a public or private mode (location masked). We harvest your data and dump it into a database which you, your crew and/or your family can access. Additionally, it provides a couple of different graphical widgets that are generated on the fly based on your SPOT Unit-ID. These images and status messages can be displayed on any webpage, blog, forum, whatever. If you have a SPOT we would love some more help testing out the first release of the API. Currently, all data is location masked to protect your secret stashes.
