Default Trip

Tracking shows he arrived CXI at 1:56 EST this morning, then another trip off CXI @ 5:10 with a distance of 152.3 miles??? Has he departed for Hilo??? with such a short stop??
What an amazing trip, can't imagine it, God's speed John.

Latest tracking looks like he's walking around the grounds at the Captain Cook hotel!!! Amazing.

The only way I can get the track to appear is to repeatedly refresh and eventually the track shows up.

This seems to be a problem with the Garmin InReach webpage rather than his unit not updating.

Thank you. That's not working for me (thank you garmin) so would you mind telling me where you show him now, or post a screen shot?

Thanks again.

Thanks again.
This is the the most recent position shown. 7/28/18 9:25am west coast time. The last ping is the Captain Cook Hotel on Kiritimati Island.

Thank you Michael! I looked up the Captain Cook hotel online and it looks tropical, but hardly paradise... I hope John's ok and he can continue his adventure soon.

I made contact with John via text. He is at CXI as previously reported. His enroute calculation had him arriving in PHTO Hilo short of fuel, so he coordinated a divert to CXI enroute (not an easy task given international formalities), shot the RNAV approach and landed safely. As it turns out, he will be able to get 100LL there.

The adventure continues...
