• 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.

Wasn't sure where to put this so it can be moved it need be.

I was told by a chaser he found a site where you can see a loop of what chasers did throughout the day with radar overlay and SN icons. Is this true? I was wondering if there was something like that, so I could watch where we went on April 4th during our nighttime chase. Thanks for the help!
 
The chaser you were talking to is probably referring to Antcam:

It looks like it is down right now, however.

I think Rob's reply is trying to point you towards the Position History link on the left side of the Spotter Network homepage. Here you can download a text file containing the positions you've updated from. You're going to have to write software to read these points, or manually plug them in by hand to Google Earth, Street Atlas, or GrLevel3, however.

My advice would be to, in the future, log your GPS data using Franson GpsGate. You can replay this data back in GpsGate, have GrLevel3 use this position and the archived radar from that day. You'll wind up withs omething like this:
