On my upcoming bike tour I’m carrying a Spot GEN3 Satellite-based GPS tracker, which can continuously transmit my location, even when I’m off the grid. Obviously I want to show my latest locations on this blog.
So this blog is built on WordPress and I couldn’t find a simple plugin that displays these tracks in a sidebar widget. Thus, the natural thing to do is build the widget myself, based on the available documentation from Spot and this is exactly what I did.
