Perfect Travel Recorder
I bought this device instead of the AMOD because of the compact size. I was willing to pay a higher price for the smaller size, since I do a lot of business travel and don't have a lot of extra space to be carrying toys around. As it turns out, the software that comes with the BT-Q1300 is FAR superior to what you get with the AMOD (which a friend purchased), plus you can tether the tracker to a PC and track yourself real-time, even while the logger continues to log internally (fun on an airplane).

My primary purpose for this logger is geotagging photos, and it works very well for that. The included Travel Recorder software works perfectly for tagging, viewing, and exporting to share with others.

Also included with the tagger is QSports software that helps you keep track of workouts. I log my exercise (walking the neighborhood and hiking), and QSports lets me know how I'm doing towards my goals. You can set targets for weight, heart rate, total workout time per week, distance traveled, etc.). I like that I can see the pace while I was moving, and it lets me know when I need to push a little harder to reach my goals. I've done more exercise in the past two weeks than I've done in the last two years. Funny how a toy like this can cause changes in behavior that you didn't expect.

The precision isn't quite what I was hoping for. Sometimes it seems excellent, and others it seems off a bit. For example, if I walk up one side of the street and back on the other side...I've had the tracks be reversed. Very odd. But honestly, we're talking about inaccuracies of maybe 15'. No big deal; just the engineer in me wanting the ultimate in precision. It's all good.

I haven't yet tested the battery life. The stated 12 hours seem sufficient for my needs, though.

The key ring came off my tracker on Day 2. The rivet holding the leather strap on came undone, and there's nothing I can do to fix that. I won't be carrying it on a key chain anyway, so this isn't a big deal to me...but I have to admit that it makes me worry about the quality of the device a bit. I'm going to tie a loop of string on here so I can clip it to things as necessary.

great product
i must start by saying that i use this GPS data logger to record my flight path for my r/c glider. And in this respect it does the work, great.

It was easy to setup, the software included works great, the GPS acquisition time is short and sensitivity is very good.

The little rubber cap covering the UBS plug is difficult to remove at first with your fingers, i had to use a sharp knife. But now it seems to have loosen up a bit.

You can easily export your tracks to Google Earth. There is even a plugin to directly visualize them in their software. Works great.

High sensitivity, good packaged software
Very compact, and the build is solid. The sensitivity of this GPS is amazing. It can get GPS lock in my home on the 2nd floor of a 3 floor building. Took it to run/hiking/walk around/driving. Record tracks effortlessly. Very easy to mark waypoint.

The best part is the software package. Very easy to split the track into multiple sections if you did different activities at different times. Easy to add location information to pictures taken on the trip. Just line up the first shot of the trip to the waypoint and the software does the rest of the work.
