Maybe a bit too big to be used in windsurfing? Definitely for the pro start...and most obviously for the Puck.... They need to make a miniature version of it....

<div>The Canmore GP102 is now accepted for GPSTC data recording.
The unit is limited in that it does not allow the detailed data checking that the GT31 allows.
Therefore it is recommended that if you are looking to get to the upper levels of the rankings you should be using a GT31.
<div>
To enhance the ability to check top level data it is requested that any post in the top 15 of the individual rankings is also submitted to www.gps-speedsurfing.com
<div>Each team is responsible for checking data to keep the challenge as accurate as possible. If you are uncertain about the accuracy of a track please contact your team captain or use the contact link on the homepage.
<div>KA72.com is the easiest way for most posts to the challenge to be made and further analysis can be carried out using additional software. Please consider supporting the windsurfers who have put time in to developing software.

Brief report about my experience with the Canmore GP-102+.
Among other pros: first fix is very quick.
Among other cons: definitely is NOT IPX6 water resistant, it took just a few drops of water (almost humidity rather than water) inside a slightly leaky bag and my first unit is gone.
I have just had exactly the same experience. High level of humidity causing condensation on the inside of the screen. Unit died. However after baking for a few hours at 40C in the oven it seems to have recovered. The screen is still a bit dodgy but it does appear to be functional. So +1 on what geoITA said. be careful people, the unit has seriously crappy waterproofing. ( it certainly is not IPX6 )
Very difficult to see the display on Fangy's Canmore after a few runs.
Advantages of drying it out in the oven, however, include a beautiful and moist steamed fish supper . 
I have read many of your posts regarding finding a suitable waterproof pouch for your GPS units. I have been using an
Overboard brand pouch for my car key and IPhone for the last few years without any leakages.
Here is the link. http://www.over-board.com.au/waterproof-iphone-case-aqua.html
I am also about to purchase a Canmore 102 +, as my first introduction into GPSTC.
I have been using these for quite a while with no issues. Less than $5 from BigW.
Also just found out today that you need to delete the files in the Activities folder
on the Canmore otherwise when it is full the unit stops recording data.

I have been using exactly the same( branded Sistema) but found getting dealt to in the waves was enough to get water past the seal. I now use a layer of lanolin grease on the seal- not a drop gets past. I still like SeaSkips solution the best, but I am too lazy to brave the alternate life forms that inhabit my local Kmart

Where do you put the containers when sailing?
I mount mine on my helmet. It's important to me that I look stylish when I am on the water
Pity this doesn't have a screen

This one even records G forces imagine that in an alpha or high speed crash

Yeah. But it uses MTK GPS chip so no accuracy data in NMEA file. It may be a good backup to carry but not at that price.Select to expand quotechoco said..

LOL! Again MTK chip and NMEA data so not really that great. 
Hello all!
This gps interrest me a lot!
What are the news with the FW modifications resquest to canmore? Will they put them in? 
Otherwise, some people can send me .fit records please? (slaught (at) live (.) fr) I want to see what the gps record exactly. 
Regards,
Alex.
Hi guys, since there are no GT31s available is there a local shop selling the Canmore GPS? I can buy it online but would like to support a shop if possible. I will be hitting up the Perth shops and will post any findings.
I have a mate with a GT31 but he can't get it to record to the card. Can anyone shed some light? and yes it is a small 2g card. Power on/off, format etc etc doesn't seem to work or help.
Cheers Dave

Contacts inside the GT-31 could need respringing. Have done this with mine a couple of times when trouble reading card. As long as he doesn't worry about voiding warranty opening it up though. Also I've found cleaning the SD card contacts sometimes helps.

So is it a new card that hasn't ever worked, or an old card that's stopped working?
If it's the later go with Sausages suggestion, but if it's brand new, then it's probably incompatible and playing with the contacts could do more damage than good.
It's not just the size of the card it's also the voltage, there is a list somewhere of compatible cards, but the sandisk seems the most common. a micro sandisk in an adapter also works.
GT-31 provides power of 2.8VDC.
The following cards have been tested to work with GT-31:
SanDisk 2GB
Transcend 1GB
Kingston 2GB
PNY 2GB
Apacer 2GB 60X
Compatible/Suggested SD card to go with Locosys GT-31/BGT-31 or SD cards (<=2GB) with 2.8VDC(3.3VDC~2.7VDC) power input should work.
thanks for all the advice. I will pass it on and see if we can get it working,
Otherwise, is there a release date for the new Locosys and/or where can I buy a Canmore in Au? I will be asking the Perth shops this too on Sat,
25knots S-SW here in Busselton tomorrow arvo ! Any takers?
I have been looking but cant find where it says the the Canmore 102 is MAC compatible? Does anyone know?
Cheers
Fangy is using his with a mac, but I can't give you any details, maybe if you PM him?

Yes, no problems.
Went for a sail tonight(2010 JP Formula), and took the Canmore out. As you can see below, I'm using MyGPSFiles as it was the first thing I tried(google search). What are the best programs to use to look at your results? Is it worth paying the $ for better programs or is there a good free alternative? Thanks in advance.

If you want to analyse your tracks and results in detail on your own computer, there are three excellent programs.
RealSpeed: This was the first, written in 2003-4 for the first 2004 GPS speed event at Sandy Point by Mal Wright. It is Windows only. I like it a lot. It still does things that the others don't do at all, or don't do as well. It allows for virtually unlimited category definitions and parameters. Unfortunately it has not been developed and updated for the last few years and can't upload results directly to GPS-SS or GPSTC. But it it highly recommended of in depth analysis and cheaper than the other two.
GPS-Results: This one is available in Windows, Apple Mac and Windows CE PDA versions. It is probably the most up to date program and has integrated uploading of results to GPS-SS and GPSTC. It is quite easy to use and the Windows Version also is the one used for analysis and validation of GPS records. It does all the main categories and the windows version allows for custom categories. Allows for Google earth or other sat maps to be loaded behind your track map. Developed by Manfred Fuchs in Germany and used by the GPS-SS site for it's auto analysis when you upload tracks. I personally use this one the most now that I mainly use a Mac, but go to the Windows version and RealSpeed for more in-depth analysis.
GPSActionReplay and GPSAction Replay - Pro: Written by Yann Mathet in France. GPSAR was the original version and is still free. GPSAR-Pro is the paid version and has far more capability. It can do some type of analysis that the others can't related to Jibe analysis and wind direction vectors and perhaps some others. This program is Java so it runs on any operating system that can run Java, including obviously Windows Mac and Linux. It has provision for Auto Upload of results and satellite imagery behind your track map. This has a strong following of devotees, but personally I find GPSAR-pro a bit unintuitive and complicated to use the advance features. There is comprehensive documentation online though for those who wish to delve into it.
You can download and try the free trial versions of all these programs before you decide if you want to buy them.http://www.intellimass.com/RealSpeed/
