Spot GPS Tracker Wordpress Widget

A Wordpress widget displaying Spot GPS tracker locations. For an example of the widget in use see my blog.

After installing, you can create a widget showing the latest position updates on your blog. To configure it, you need to obtain a Google Maps API key and configure a feed for your Spot account. This feed must be public, i.e. not password protected.

In the widget settings you then enter the feed ID, i.e. the part after ?glId= in the feed URL. For example, if your feed URL is

http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0g1MK8mxl4NNmBYAnuiZPlX3JXyzuT19t

then the feed ID is 0g1MK8mxl4NNmBYAnuiZPlX3JXyzuT19t.

What exactly is displayed depends on how you configure the feed in your Spot account.
