Good hardware, bad software

 

Acquisition from cold is usually quick, and hot starts are very fast. Tracking is reliable and battery life is good. Lat and long values are wrong in exported csv and text files, but correct in Google Earth klm files. If Imperial units are selected...

Hard Learning Curve

 

The hardware works and is very simple but is not as accurate as other sat navs I have. The software is primitive. My advice is don't read the packaging it will mislead you, find the user manual on the disc and read that. I was alarmed at first because...

Works with gpsd on Ubuntu

Nice sensitive GPS datalogger. Selectable point logging time works while running. Had to kill gpsd, run globdog-dg100, start GPS-Mouse mode, start gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0. I'll try geotagging photos soon.

Great logger for a decent price

 

Great logger for a decent price

The logger does all it is supposed to and will run for around 24h on a single charge. It takes regular AAA batteries. You can charge the batteries by attaching the logger to a USB port. Just wonderful. The logger is also very sensitive, which allows...

Different from what I've seen

 

Althought it seemed bigger than what I thought it would be (it isn't that big, it fits in your palm and is smaller than a TomTom One GPS), it's a great device.It works perfectly, and for the software part, it takes minutes to master. Although certain...
