Pac Cup 2016 http://yb.tl/links/paccup2016

Exp just downloads the boats file once (http://yb.tl/paccup2016-boatids.txt)

The positions are in http://yb.tl/paccup2016-expedition.txt

 

Anyone looking for a formula for the upper bound where n is the number of boats:n * (34 + (1 * n) + (1 * (n-9)) + (1 * (n-99)) + 3*2 This assumes 8 digits for latitude and 10 digits for longitude. Depending on location this could be less due to fewer characters in the location field. - so this is the max file size for a give number of boats.
 

C-600 files were about 4kb each - ~100 boats
that was via email attachment.., so there was also the overhead of the email - both the request, and the response. I would guess the total is 10-15Kb
i assume there is some overhead associated with a request through the expedition interface, but my guess is it's less - perhaps Nick could comment on that...
I only use email requests when i am constrained to use Iridium Go, or handset. When I have FBB, I use expedition, and don't worry about the data quantity.
