    My understanding is that the original author passed glideport.aero and associated software to SSA. They have done nothing with it as far as I can tell. The tracking website is still up and running but there is currently no support for it.
    Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Over the weekend, my iPhone 6 finally died. This morning I restored everything to a new iPhone Xr. Glidetrack didn't download and I got the message it was no longer available in the App Store.

    Mark
    SSA got access to the project and site last week. Last volunteer claimed he was replaced, but no evidence of that. It'll get some effort near term and more attention later.

    Any update on the status of being able to register on Glideport.aero? I have an inreach I would like to be able to let others follow.

    Thanks

    Wes,
    Not yet unfortunately. However, do register your glider and tracker under your Profile in members.ssa.org. The tracker listing was created as a resource in case someone needed your last reported position. It also did handshake with Glideport.aero
    until the domains were updated. If you can't access members.ssa.org, e-mail webmaster@ssa.org for assistance.
