Pros: small, lightweight, concentrates on basic features, cheap in Germany (60 Eur at reichelt.de). Possibility to set PDOP, TDOP, Sat Nr masks,... for user that knows the GPS parameters quite well Cons: insufficient manual with mistakes, not enough informations for beginners in GPS, files can't be copied or downloaded from stick and need transformation by included software Notes: similar to Wintec WPL-1000 Easy Showily
- Push to fix to record specific waypoints
- Small display for status
- USB-interface for reading log files and configuration via windows-software (GPX export possible)
- Linux and macs are not officially supported, device appears as storage, but the original log files seem to be in proprietary format
- Free linux/mac reader wpl1000reader (makes gpx), for change of settings windows is still needed
- Another free reader with ability to change settings naviread (GIT repo: git clone git://git.asdn.eu/naviread)
- Datasheet (in german)
Software update crashed. Could be saved by manually downloading the *.img file on the stick and cycle power :-) HB9DTX 28 August 2009
