last stupid question: what do the orange dot represent?
That's the SPOT GPS tracking device on the bike firing off its data that's shared then with Spotwalla to produce the breadcrumb trail you are viewing.....
The SPOT unit on the bike has a number of other features....User programable OK button, Custom button, Help and the fixed SOS button.
When they have a short/long break Karl has his customised to give break info....hence the little green box etc
Abe's has a similar setup
