Well that would certainly make sense. In my case, Canmores own software program will not clear the memory - that's seems to be a bit odd, or is it a monumental oversight? More likely something I have done methinks.
so what are your thoughts guys on gt-31 vs canmore . After all this testing is it a worthy replacement for the gt-31 which is impossible to get ?
Well elucidated Fangy.
PS - I had to look up the meaning of corollary - I was expecting pictures of 1980 cars but there's no "corollation"[sic]
hey Stretch, all the fields for GPSTC ARE available when you upload the file to ka72. ( the unit writes them as a.fit file and Dylan @ka72 has modified the program to allow .fit files to be uploaded and analysed )
On water, or even in the carpark après sail, you can only get distance and max speed (in kms) and average speed off the unit directly.
The unit appears to be accurate but I dont know whether it has been accepted for use by GPSTC committee - can someone help me out here?
I have not tested one personally, but reports from those who have are very good, considering its limitations. The Canmore can't give accuracy information. In that respect it is similar to the older Garmin Fortrex and Geko we used to use and still allow. It's advantage is that it records Doppler based speeds and is therefore inherently, potentially much more accurate than the old Garmin models.
If you are limited by funds and just want something to give you some fun numbers at the end of your session, I see no reason at this time why it should not be allowed for the GPSTC. Just be aware that technically, speed accuracy can not be verified in the way it can be with the GT-31 and you may need to keep a good eye on the shape of speed graphs to spot and eliminate error spikes.
Wrist watch waterproof case for Canmore ?
Anybody spot one ? I use GP-102+ recently and love it but the aqupac is completely unsuited- too big and slipping of the arm ( when you dont have wetsuit - as we) .
I imagine small clear plastic wrist watch type case will be ideal....
Hi Macro, I've been thinking of another system to keep our devices waterproof.
You will need to test it for me though :-)
Like you I find the paqua/aqua bags bulky.
How about using those battery operated handheld food sealers ? Once ready to go on the water, turn the device on, put it in a small bag, seal it, shove it in a decent sport/phone armband and voila !
Doesn't need to be vacuum'ed like in the video
Here is interesting experiment I did today - carrying two GPS our popular GT31 and new one Canmore 102+ almost identical ,
With me being tech savvy enough to be dangerous on a computer. Could somebody please post the easy to follow steps to get my information from my Canmore GP102 onto my Mac and beyond?
Thanks in advance PK
Hi I am quite new on this forum but topic of GPS measuring is hot for me - I found another interesting alternative for GT-31 unit from VELOCITEK. In fact they offer pro sailing machines on their website, there is good real time demo for these units as well and they are full waterproof + optimised for real time speed and position monitoring - definitely it is interesting and worth to check:
