• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

OK all I'll make this very simple since my time is short.

Bought a new laptop and all most have all of my chaser stuff done for 2013 however I'm not sure what to use for GPS ??????? many chasers use different things and keep in mind that my laptop has win 7 premium I belive. OK chasers you tell me besides delorme what else should I consider using for 2013 and beyond ????? I would love to keep using my new laptop for at least 5 yrs or more. also would love to hear from those who drive to chase in OK,KS very important to get your perspectives on this important matter since this yr I may be able to branch out alot more I look forward to your assesment ??????????. and what GPS systems are "HIGHLY Reccomended"

Get rid of the Delorme puck if you're using it. The Delorme software: Street Atlas is quite popular with chasers as is Microsoft Streets and Trips. Both will do a fine job for navigation.

Lots of good threads on GPS tech on here. As long as the puck is compatible with Win7 x64 I don't think you'll have any trouble. The globosat pucks are the most recommended here. Here's a good recommendation that came in last night:

I have no knowledge or experience with this but might be a viable option for many ...
Bluetooth puck

If any have experience with this particular puck, please share your opinions. I may pick one up and mess with it at some point in the near future. Not sure but a USB option would seem to be more practical.
