    FJRForum Official 2019 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    Reading comprehension fellas, I think you fixated on the phrase "to know who's coming"... I don't mean to include ANY "identifiable" information, just direction of travel. If I only have 5 minutes to look at the Spotwalla map to catch up, it would be nice to see if a rider is headed N/S/E/W...

    None of the boni in the first 26 pages are in Alaska, so there's definitely new/additional listings in the missing pages - we'll just have to wait and see. I think Colin24's on to something about a receipt combo (not mandatory, though - too restrictive).

    Is anyone else wishing that the Spotwalla tags included "heading" info? I understand hiding the "time" field as adding to the obfuscation, but it can be hard to know who's coming or going with so many tags, and so few updates!

    You might be assuming the Spotwalla tags are the same for each leg. Historically, the Spotwalla tags are re-randomized for each leg to help with the obfuscation of rider identities. EDIT: Just saw a later post that points out the SPOT "Device Timezone" is what you're referring to. NM

    (Reno)John, suggested a reminder/motivation message to put his IBR page together again this year. Probably: https://renojohn.com/bike/iba2019/ Says he'll be at the start, so it would be a couple of days before going live. Anyone else (who can't get enough IBR over the next two weeks) want to...

    I had to laugh... For the last three years, I've languished over the dearth of rallies near NY. The Void & Minuteman are typically the only two touching the state.

    In my defense, he was on I-495 at the time, could have been I-95N bound.

    If you click on any Spotwalla flag, it will indicate compass heading at the time of the update ("ENE" would be returning from the Keys for those riders) That helps when you can't see the breadcrumbs, or keep track of every little update. I wonder if that's Rob Nye headed home? Maybe his...

    I think he was just trying to get your GOAT. Too soon?

    Sorry, Matt. I DID read through the whole thread, but that damned "reading comprehension" gets me every time!
