EOTrackMe: Settings for SPOT

The SPOT Satellite Messenger devices (now available in the Shop) are supported in EOTrackMe via the use of the shared page XML feed system. The shared page system and XML feed are an available using the Track Progress service available directly from Spot see http://au.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=111 and this must be activiated to use your Spot on EOTrackMe.

To set-up your SPOT device to be visible on EOTrackMe do the following (if you have already setup a shared page skip down to the next section below):

• Login to your SPOT account
• Click on the Share tab
• Under the SPOT Shared Pages section, click the Create Shared Page link
• Name the page something like SPOT XML Interface
• Select the messenger (i.e. SPOT device) for the shared page. If you only have one, it will be selected automatically. If you have more than one device, you must select the device for which you're creating a feed to EOTrackMe. Do not select multiple devices! If you have more than one device, you will need to create a separate shared page for each device
• Check all message types to share on this page. If you're creating a shared page for a Generation I device, you will see three message types - Check-in, Help and Track. If you're creating a shared page for a Generation II device, you will see a fourth message type - Custom. Be sure and check all message types
• In the Share GPS locations from the last list, select an appropriate number of days. 2 days is the recommended value but it's totally up to you
• This is important... For the Share message detail setting, please select Yes. This allows EOTrackMe to pull the custom message text that you've set-up for Ok, Help and Custom messages
• Password protection is not currently supported. Ensure the page is public
• Select the Send the shared page myself option
• Click the Create Now! button
• At the bottom of the page just below the Create Now! button you'll find the link to your newly created shared page. Copy the link to the clipboard or otherwise save it somewhere.



• You will need to make sure you are logged in to your member account and then click this link: Register SPOT Device
• In the window that appears paste in the link that you saved above and press OK
• The SPOT device is now loaded into your account, go to your Members Public Profile page or the My Tracking tab on the EOTrackMe page to complete the set-up.
