[talk-au] Cheap data logger

[Neal Schulz]

Hi,

I have a QStarz BT-Q1000 and I just set it to log every 10m which also  
avoids the multiple points while you are stationary problem. It logs  
100,00 points and has a battery life of 36 Hours. There is obviously a  
newer version (BT-Q1000X) but it seems compatible with the software I  
uses (bt747) which allows you to set the "log every 10m" option. I  
have used this device on Windows, Mac and Linux for grabbing the data.

I don't know for sure but it seems to use the MTK chipset so I  
wouldn't write off any device using MTK - My device has been excellent  
for logging OSM data and the accuracy has been excellent.
