 Perfect photo blogging package August 1, 2010

I use the i-gotU GT-600 GPS tracker by Mobile Action Technology since May, 2010. It replaced the i-gotU GT-120 unit that I purchased in April, 2009. My experience is quite different from the experience of the user that gave this GPS tracker only two stars. I agree that the hardware is good, although it could benefit from replacing the SIRF Star III chipset with the more sensitive MTK II chipset; nevertheless, GT-600 firmware is excellent and many settings are customizable.
While the hardware is good, the included i-gotU software is EXCELLENT!!! The CD that was included with my unit had the newest version (v. 3.1, Build 1002,243, February 2, 2010) that is also available on the Mobile Action Technology's website. It installed without problems on Windows 7 32- and 64-bit versions. Yes, you need to ignore the Windows 7 warnings about drivers; however, this problem happened to me with several other drivers as well.
The biggest difference between the software included with the i-gotU tracker and software that is included with many brands of other Taiwanese-made GPS trackers is that this software is not only perfect for geotagging photos, but also has the PC Composer, a powerful annotation editor. Moreover, Mobile Action Technology provides a server for uploading annotated trips. There is no charge for the use of this server and you do not even have to own an i-gotU unit to register. While each user has a limit of space on the server, the software provides an option to keep the picture files on Flickr or Picasa. Thus, animated trips (even in 3D) can be displayed on this server, while files are stored elsewhere - this combination creates a perfect Web 2.0 application! I created over 80 trips in a bit over one year, so I speak out of experience...
In addition, I cannot verify the comment about incompatibility of exported GPX tracks with Google Earth. The @trip PC software uses Google Maps and Google Earth, so it has to be compatible. I encountered no problems when opening tracks exported in the GPX format with the current release of Google Earth - 5.2.1.1329, Build Date Jun 10, 2010.
If you want just to geotag your pictures and upload them to Picasa, Flickr, Locr, or any other "static" website, GT-600 and the included @trip PC software works very well; however, if you want to create animated trips that will "play" your travels (even in 3D), there is nothing that come close to what Mobile Technology Action offers. This my perfect photo blogging package.
 Nice unit, bad software. April 8, 2010

In short, this is good hardware with awful software.
The hardware is good. The motion detection is very sensitive, so I never worry about whether it has turned itself on or not. Positions logged are fairly accurate; there is some inaccuracy in all situations, especially around obstacles such as tall buildings. But any bad data logged usually only affects a single data point.
The software is awful.
- The generated gpx files contain a section that makes them unreadable to Google Earth. Expect to manually edit every gpx file you create if you want to use it with third party software such as Google Earth.
- The Windows 7 driver hasn't been put through Microsoft driver licensing, so you will need to boot with that feature turned off each time you want to connect the device.
- The Windows 7 driver causes a BSOD when you try to let Google Earth acquire a position from the connected device.
- The interface for getting data out of the device, creating a gpx file and geotagging images is inconsistent and confusing.
I like the motion detection. I like the size. Neither are worth the pain of the software. I wish I'd bought something, anything, else.
