 Travel test for the Qstarz BT-Q1000P December 27, 2008
John Saunders (San Diego, CA USA)
I took this GPS on a 9000 mile, 3-week trip by land, sea and air, and it stored my positions without having the opportunity to download the data or change settings during the trip, since the sub-notebook I took ran LINUX. I did some trials while walking and car riding before leaving to arrive at a compromise setting which would last the trip, which was 30 meters and 30 seconds. This, by the way is either. not both. I did not use it on the plane, but it was satisfactory on bus, train, cruise ship and walking. I found it to be very sensitive. On the ship or train it would generally work if within a few feet of a window. In a bus or car I could keep it in my pocket. It even stored during some indoor rides in Disney World. I wish the software would allow several trips to be selected without re-downloading the tracks each time. Also, I usually use a Mac.
Good system December 8, 2008

The Software is good, Installs and Loads OK, nice features including showing path taken on Google maps (nicely integrated with internet on-line maps and satelite pictures), and speed during the trip (Can click on speed vs distance graph, and it shows where on the map speed limit was violated). However if I leave the software running on my PC for an hour, Windows says it is taking too many resources, and it hangs/freezes.
Program allows pictures to be tagged with location and elevation, with an adjustment if needed for Camera and GPS times being offset.
The accuracy is good, It generally shows the exact parking space I was in, and which lane I'm driving on a wide street. However, If it sits in one spot for a few hours, it has occasional drift in calculated position, and looks like it is moving around the size of a soccer field, with an occational spot several blocks away, even with a view of the clear sky and good signal lock.
The device has a nice feature to save data space, with option to only record points if they exceed a certain distance or speed from earlier points. Data point entries can be also programed for variable time between points. Battery life is over 24 hours. Minor incovenience is the upload of the data log is slow, takes several minutes.
Blue Tooth allows this to work real time with my palm pilot and PC map programs when I'm driving. In addition to logging the route for later playback. The size is small and easy to fit in a pocket. Comes with USB cable, AC wall charger and 12V DC car charger. Printed documentation is OK but tiny font and black & White pictures, Better to read the documentation on the Disk (easier to read on the computer and is in color).
All in all, I'm glad I purchased this device. If they have software upgrades in the future to address consistant accuracy and S/W hanging, it would be 5 stars.
 Modern marvel July 11, 2008

It's a modern marvel. It's an incredibly reliable product. Easy to use. Fun to have. I use it mostly when traveling, for reviewing my routes and geo-tagging pictures I take.
Remember some 10 years ago you had to buy a separate GPS for planes? Not any more. I always leave it on on a plane and later review the flight. Exciting!
At ~$100 it's a steal. Some 10+ friends got one following my recommendation. No one is disappointed.
