I tried for 5 or 6 hours to get anything on this device to work correctly. The time showed accurately in the settings but the time it recorded in my tracks was sometime in the year 2037! The location data it recorded was completely inaccurate. I walked around my house in San Jose, CA. and the info it reported showed me to be in three different places, in the South Pacific near Tahiti (I Wish!), about halfway between New Zealand and the Antarctic and finally somewhere off the west coast of Africa. The manual and website are useless (and written by someone with a very warped sense of how the English language works) and from what I have read here, Gisteq's customer service is equally bad. I did send two emails to them with my complaints but decided to return this piece of garbage before I got any reply from them. I am a Mac user and there is no reference in the included manual anywhere as to the fact that Mac software and a manual are available for download on the website. Oh yeah, besides breaking my thumbnail every time I tried to open the battery compartment, the tiny little ridge of plastic that you are supposed to hook your fingernail on broke off about the third time I opened it (I was trying to see if reseting the device would make it work, it didn't) Again I have to agree with the many people here that say don't buy this. It would seem that Gisteq produces more lemons than properly working devices.
Customer Review: Pretty nifty, but too easily broken.
I purchased the DPL700 just over a year ago, and have used it fairly often since then with no major problems... until about a week ago. But I'll get to that later. Installing and using the software wasn't the most intuitive thing in the world, and it feels a bit kludgy, but once you figure out what you're doing it works very well for getting your photos geotagged. As I said, I've used my Trackr fairly often in the past year... just normal, everyday use -- I usually have the device clipped to my camera strap, so it gets the same level of care that I give to my camera. After several months of use, I noticed that the body of the device had a small crack next to the battery door (similar to that seen in the user photo uploaded by E. Richards). This crack did not affect the use of the device in any way. A couple of weeks ago, we traveled by train from the midwest to Washington State, and I took my Trackr along for the ride. I kept it placed near the window and on at all times, and it was able to acquire and keep a satellite connection for most of the journey. The battery lasted about 10 hours, as expected, so I did need to change that out several times on the trip. And now for the bad news... While doing some sightseeing in Washington, I was in the middle of snapping a picture when the little black strap that connects the Trackr to the clip unexpectedly fell apart, and my Trackr went crashing to the ground. At first glance, the device appeared unharmed, but when I tried to close up the battery compartment door, it would not stay shut. Sadly, that flimsy little itty bitty piece of plastic that holds the battery door closed had snapped off, just the same as other reviewers have mentioned. I tried holding the compartment closed with my fingers, and the device began working again. However, the force needed to hold the door shut is more than you might expect, so I was unable to hold it closed for more than a few minutes at a time. I then tried to McGuyver it shut with duct tape, which did work for about 20 minutes, until the duct tape began to stretch under the pressure from the battery, causing the device to stop working again. So... because of the easily broken-ness of the device, and the very poorly designed battery compartment, I'm only giving it one star. If I could find something stronger than duct tape that would hold the battery compartment shut -- a portable Incredible Hulk, perhaps, or maybe a small vice -- I might have given it 3-4 stars, because the device does still *work* (IF you can hold the door shut), and it is good for tagging your photos. And it did work just fine for 14 months...
