Can you let people know if the log files can be offloaded like files from a flash drive or does it require using your application?
If the later, I don't think you'll get many takers on this upgrade. You previously claimed over and over that the software problem was fixed on the Mac when in fact it wasn't. I returned your product because it was horrible. I got a product that let's you mount the GPS like a flash drive and simply drag and drop the log files to your computer hard drive. So if that is how your product now works I'd be interested. If not, then I wouldn't touch it. My faith in your app getting log files off the gps is long gone.

I've tested the connection a few times with a few scenarios: download a few successive times without disconnecting the tracker, with disconnection the tracker between downloads, trying to download without the tracker connected and then directly downloading again, changing usb port, etc. All the times it downloads without a problem! I'm very pleased with this. Great work guys!

@ teaman: I think you'll allways need some software to download the tracks from the trackr. I think this is hardware related. The trackr uses some usb to serial connection. The mac software is free, no actications and works good for downloading the tracks. You can export the files directly to gpx to use your favorite tool to tag the photo's or use the functions of the software.

There are alternative trackers which can be mounted as a flash drive, but I didn't find one which is powered with standard batteries. Most of the alternatives need a computer to be charged, or an outlet. I charge a few batteries when I have an outlet available and can be in the middle of nowhere for a few days. Every device has it's pro's and cons, this one is working for me.
