Just remember to give an OK signal about 12hrs before so that Spotwalla servers start pulsing for it.

I open Bubbler and make sure I see two green lights at the top.

Then instead of using the all app close button, I close apps individually.

Click on settings and bring up

I check it every time, because if there is an update, you sometimes have to login again and do the select device thing again.

That will depend on mobile coverage Gary.
I lost coverage not long after Moree.
Had anothet close call ...
If i wasn't for slowing down for a large dead roo in the middle of my lane i'd have gone through a sweeping right hander into 2 emu's having a union meeting :OldMan

What is Bubbler? Just a smarfone App? Not in Apple store.
-
There's a bit of discussion and some links here.... http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=8153.msg98907#msg98907 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=8153.msg98907#msg98907)
Bubbler is an Android App for your Android phone, and is available via GooglePlay. It uses your mobile phone's GPS to plot your position and send your location to SpotWalla via the mobile telephone network. Therefore Bubbler can only update your position on SpotWalla when you have mobile phone coverage, but saves your positions and send them all off when you next move into a phone coverage area.
Bubbler is an alternative to Spot Messenger.

Departed Cobar around 7:30 bound for Broken Hill.
4 degrees warming up to 17 reaching Wilcannia.Topped up the tank.
Made it into Broken Hill with the last 20 minutes light rain.
Had lunch at the Workers club then headed off with the intention of topping the tank & putting wets on.
I got distracted - no wets or fuel....made it to Yunta wet with a whiff of fuel left.Refuelled then headed off into alot of fog all the way to the quarantine stop.Rain got heavier....made a quick stop in Peterborough for pics (had planned to catch up with Alan tommorrow but i'm running a day ahead now)
Went through a very wet Horrocks pass to land in Port Augusta wet & freezing.

I bought the paid one to get more data points and a few other features. Installed on phone and tablet.

I've just discovered more in Bubbler.
If you press the Bubbler icon in the centre of the screen
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160525/5ff95659439d8a17e694e5b033747107.jpg)
You get this screen
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160525/1f1b3c90488f0a164988e3d12d628cf2.jpg)
Pressing one of the icons or custom message will place a marker on spotwalla with your status. e.g OK, Fuel, Food etc.
If you've set up a phone number under SMS in settings and told it which buttons are allowed to send texts, then when you send the status message to Spotwalla it also sends an SMS.
I think I'll have to play with it next RTE.

A bit useless with vodafone given the lack of coverage.
Ideal for the proper satellite spot item ;-*
-
Great for the east coast and central state and not too bad with Telstra (when its working)

Stimpy, if you get a chance, make sure you do the ride from Port Augusta, up the Pichi Richi Pass to Quorn. I rate it as one of the best and most scenic rides in SA. ++
-
I am perched on the upstairs verandah of the Streaky Bay hotel overlooking the jetty now.
Room number 1 - i reckon it would rival Saaz's favourite spot at Urunga....just beautiful.
Arrived here via Ceduna....just a nice day.
Time to get changed and pop downstairs to the bar to wash the bugs off ;-* :beer

There's a fantastic "old world" cafe at the corner of First and Seventh St, Quorn. It would be a good sport for monring tea before the return run back down Pichi Richi.

It was also another of Saaz's favourite stopovers . . . In fact we stayed there on the way to the Border Run July 2015 . . Sadly his very last ride.

Sitting in Hindley st in the adelaide cbd having a cold coopers and watching the flotsam & jetsom parade past.
Had planned to keep on chugging through from Port Lincoln to
Mt Gambier but decided to pull the pin and wander around the city a bit.
I will aim for the GOR tommorrow unless plans change overnight ;-*

Say G'day to StinkyPete and Chris up the hill for me. Take a Beau Peep at their little slice of paradise before you go.

Going to stay at the same pub at Mt Gambier that we stayed at on the return trip from Nat Rally :think1
Remember not to leave your riding jacket on the lounge downstairs this time though :rofl :crackup

Adelaide to Portland via Bordertown, Horsham,Great Western for a quick visit to the Seppelt winery estate (no port:left empty handed)
Ararat,Dunkeld,Hamilton & Heywood.
Copped alot of weird looks but no waves from fellow car travellers but did get plenty of waves from other motorcyclist's - the complete opposite of what i experienced in South Australia from both car & bike travellers.Strange.I even got waves from patched members :o
Anyways, will do the GOR tommorrow then maybe over the ferry to P.I to possibly prop in Mudbourne for the evening :grin
-
It's fun to wave at people :hatwave :hatwave :hatwave :grin
-
It may well be a geographical thing with the waving & 1 finger wagging thing.It might be the relative isolation ?
From Cobar over to Broken Hill then down to port augusta i was getting the friendly acknowledgement from cars & trucks in horrible weather conditions even though i was unable to respond for various reasons.
Everywhere from port augusta to ceduna & back through streaky bay port lincoln & PA again was the same.Friendly folk.
That's my observations anyway.....

Waving or similar is sort of normal for Eyre Peninsula except for maybe Port Augusta to Whyalla - oh!!! and crossing the Nullarbor as well.

Portland to Lorne today with a pub lunch stop in Apollo Bay.
Very cold start to a very short day.
According to Sabie this trip has turned into one long pub crawl.

I also thought it would be the decent thing to do by staying in the CBD for a few nights instead of with STroppy seeing as how we will be cabin buddies for 2 days.
Being in each others immediate proximity for 4 days would be cruel and unusual punishment for young Terry :o

After getting a new set of tyres and rear pads in Canberra i set off for Neville friday morning,landing just after 1pm in light showers.
A dodgy chicken pizza emerged later in the evening leaving me to a 48hr spray painting course.
Leaving Neville sunday morning and back to reality (and phone connectivity) i headed for Tamworth for the night.
After an early start i pounded the new england hwy making it home just after 1 pm & 7174km.
This was a great trip for a great cause ;-*

Good RR STimpy :thumb ... sorry I couldn't give you a wave on the day, as I was at the Doctors from 8 til 9 when you passed through.
Only 3 km up the road, too
