My Favorite race of the day! So glad you are still racing with this system. Dan from Norco, California, USA

Well done BlueBar. Your display software is by far the best I have seen after extracting the data from the Skyleader GPS ring. I would be interested in discussing your software in private if interested.

Another GPS ring manufacturer is interested in a partnership deal to enable a product to move Pigeon Racing forward from simply usinf a velocity based to something that's much more of a spectical for the viewing public. Watch this space.

If your interested to dm me I'm available on Instagram at gps_pigeon_racing_nz. Look forward to hearing from you.

The race birds don't carry transmitters as that would be prohibitively heavy and expensive so the race isn't viewed in real time or as it happened. We can't watch the race until the data is downloaded and captured. The software for this I've produced myself and we've been refining the racing over the past year and half. We have two Pigeon Racing Clubs here in New Zealand that use it - Manuwatu Racing Pigeon Club thanks to Lionel Ward and Western Union Racing Pigeon Club (Auckland) thanks to Don Cambell. The hardware for track capture is SkyLeader and the rendering for display is Google Earth.

There is no sound commentary on the race. You might already know that...

Hi Roger, I'm not sure I understand your question. The race birds don't carry transmitters as that would be prohibitively heavy and expensive so the race isn't viewed in real time or as it happened.
