Recommendations on GPS Device

[vidiot 0]

I did some jumps with the 305. It works ok, although the filters are set up for running, not for freefall speeds. Therefore it tends to overcompensate when you have sudden speed/accelaration/yerk changes, i.e during opening.

This ballon jump was recorded with a 305.

Perhaps thats why that series of GPS receivers is called foreRUNNER and the one recommended for wingsuiting is foreTREX

foreTREX

Ah, now I understand! American spelling of 'for (e) TRACKS'

Unfortunately, they never upgraded the ForeTrex series to the modern SiRF III chipset as they did with the ForeRunner xx5 series. I wish they would build a ForeTrex 205, or better yet 405!

I still think nothing beats the Wintec WBT-201, although I haven' tested the new Wintec WSG-1000 with display yet.

As usual, we are in agreement

Being in agreement is so GAY!

I use a Garmin ForeTrex201 .snip.

I have a Garmin ForeTrex201 as well. I have not been able to download any tracks as the interface is serial and my laptop only has USB ports. I have a KeySpan serial to USB adapter but I have never been able to get the device detected.
Anyone have any luck with this?
