JWOC 2023 Race details
Hmm, live results do not seem to work in the Sprint competition ? And the GPS tracking for Sprint is still totally confusing … no progress in the hardware/software here.
… and suddenly the live results appeared. Thanks.
For more exact satellite-positions we have to wait until anyone will pay for systems they use all satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, BEIDU, GALLILEO) with instant correcting differential signals. There is a swiss chip for around 200 Dollars who is doing that job. A year ago I informed that firm but no answer.
