Live feeds of North Star/GeoTrak PTTs

If you have North Star/GeoTrak PTTs deployed, you can set up a subscription in Movebank to automatically collect

your data from Argos and add it to your study in Movebank. This service is free and you maintain full control and

ownership of your data. For more detailed instructions, see www.movebank.org/node/28.
