PC: downloading DPL700 tracks with iTrackU

[freewilly]

Finaly, I found an (German) Tool for downloading the tracks without the need of the PhotoTrackr software.
The name of the program is iTrackU - Tool V1.12
Original is it writen for the XaiOx logger, but it works also for the DPL700.
I tested it with my DPL700 firmware 4.2, and it works 100%.
This tool run only on a PC. (XP and Vista)

No registration required, so you can use it on more than 3 PC's.

Edit: you must install the PhotoTrackr driver on PC.

I was not able to get this working. I connected the dpl700 to a machine which hasn't the phototrackr software installed and the device is not recognized by windows. I'm not able to install a com port so itracku cannot connect to the trackr. Did you have the gisteq software installed before?

[freewilly]

Sorry for that, but you must also install the driver from the Gisteq CD.
Put the CD in the drive and run, in the CD's driver folder, the setup program for installing the driver.
Hope this help.

Thanks. I was proud to found a solution myself, almost the same one as you

I downloaded the installer from the website and installed that one. First it wouldn't install so i tried to extract the files from the msi. I succeded with the command "msiexec /a LoggerSetup.msi". After that you will find driver in [installdir]\GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr\Driver\. Run install.exe and after that is finisched connect the trackr. After that you can extract tracks without registring the software.

Freewilly, thanks for the information.
I think that many people here will use this software.
I also think that is very pathetic that we have to use free third party software because the software that we have paid for this device is very limited and restricted, and limited to three activations when we couldn't use it with other devices!!! It's incredible!!!
I haven't see this before in the 12 years that I have worked as a software engineer.

This great info indeed. I have continuing problems with their Phototrackr software. I downloaded and installed the iTrackU and it reads the data without any problems.

Now a dumb question: how do I get the GPS data loaded into my EXIF files? I can't use the Phototrackr since it will not recognize the files. Any assistance would be appreciated.

JMK, you can also download JetPhoto Studio here:

The freeware version allows you to geotag your photos, and you can install it on more than 3 machines!!!

I too used this software for a while - but I recently discover TrackUtil (http://andreas-grimme.gmxhome.de/trackutil/). Works fine with the phototrackr (even through it was designed for the XAiOX iTrackU - which as you already know is the same as the phototrackr).

Its simply amazing - give it a shot. GPS tagging is now as simple as it always should have been .
