We installed it last year and really like it. I believe there is a 6 hour delay built into the system so people cant follow the groomers. The state will probably require clubs to install tracking units within the next couple years.
No delay in the system other than a few minutes. I can track exactly where my guys are at and once they’re parked for the night so I can sleep well.

That only if your logged in as a Admin. The app the public has access to for free has a delay built in just for that reason.
You must be talking about the app WI uses, GTS Trails. That app only updates once a day, so the trails could be pretty beat up by the time it updates. The app this thread is about can be found at www.groomertracker.com. In order to see what trails have been groomed, it costs $10 per season for the area a club grooms. 50% of the fee goes back to the club as discussed above. The app updates every minute or two while it sends and receives data.
If you follow GTS Trails you can figure out what clubs are having groomer break downs and frequency of the grooming efforts. If you know the trails and usual traffic patterns you will know what trails to ride and trails that are rougher than a cob. It works for me knowing the problem areas.

I'm not worried about myself, I want the sledders that come up to the northwoods and keep our industry alive to have the best experience possible. Whatever works for each individual is great. GTS Trails may update as time goes on since I'm sure any year now, the AWSC will require clubs to have a gps system to track grooming hours for funding, rather than the manual system most clubs are still using.
