During the Nationals, Hang Gliding pilots descended on the Best Little Hang Gliding Site in Texas to compete for fame and glory. This web site was provided to allow armchair spectators anywhere to share the excitement without being there. The maps below provided in real time the current location of pilots carrying APRS trackers. A "tracker" consists of a GPS receiver and amateur radio transmitter that broadcasts the pilots position.
