Replacement SPOT X

Post by Steamburn »

Last week I noticed that my SPOT wasn't working right, so I bought a new one.
Did all the steps necessary to set it up (XML feed, etc.) and the software said it was a successfull submittal.
On sending a OK message and/or "Check in" message, it doesn't show in the WT Mapper. It is still showing the position last sent by my old SPOT X.
Any suggestions in how to fix this problem?

Yes, I updated "successfully" the tracking link, and I sent the following message using the "Check In" feature of the Spotx at 19:29, that says:
We are OK. Our position using Spot X (Spot2)
Lat: 26.70217
Long: -80.24207
Alt: 5.0 m | 16 ft

Also I sent a plain message (SMS) to my wife today at 20:33, that says:
Love you. Will check in again with you soon.
