SatSYNC Version 1.2 - new release now available

Bosun · Posted: Sat May 16, 2009 7:58 pm Post subject:

Andy,

If you click on the Zagg link it does say that it can be applied to either:-

The invisibleSHIELD should be applied under the normal Active 10 screencover

1. On top of the Screen Cover of Active 10. This will ensure it is protected from damage when for example it is on the lanyard around your neck, or in your pockets / carry case where it may be vulnerable to scratching by other items. Walkers in particular may prefer this option.
2. On top of the Inner Screen (i.e. underneath the Screen Cover). This will ensure the Inner Screen is protected at all times. Whilst the Screen Cover itself may still get damaged, this is of course easily replaceable, whereas the Inner Screen is not. Mountain bikers may prefer this option as it provides protection against damage from grit which may get washed under the Screen Cover in particularly muddy conditions.

I just can't get this new software to work. The satmap doesn't show up in Satsync but only as an unformatted usb device in windows.

I have plugged the satmap in already powered and unpowered where it starts automatically - but no dice.

All out of ideas here - can anyone help?

I am running Vista x64 which was fine with the last version of satsync.

Thanks for the reply. .NET 3.5 sp1 is installed already and did not appear to re-install with satsync. Think i'll try a re-install of .NET next - hadn't realised the connection.

I might have to take you up on the offer of the previous version as I deleted it thinking all would be well. I just don't learn...

Thanks again

Having emailed Satmap a couple of times recently, it seems they have little interest in supporting Apple Mac users. Having been told at the Outdoors Show in March that they would have the software ready for Mac by Easter, they now say that they do not know when it will be ready!!!

It's really good to see them making progress on their software updates, but what about us Mac users, we still get outdoors as well ocassionaly Surprised

Anymore Mac users out there wan t to join me in contacting Satmap on a regular basis to remind them we still exist????

Apple Mac-- I agree i have been chasing for over a year now, with empty promises.
It is all very well saying one can use Parralles or some other emulation, but that requires buying windows in the first place!
A concerted MacSync campaign is required.

I wouldn't mind so much if it ACTUALLY worked in Parallels but i've only had it to work on Vista, which i was not going to keep on my MAC as it is a Hog at the best of times , never mind on Parallels. I can't get it to work on Parallels with XP, so either Satmap gets their finger out or i'll be moving to Garmin.

Garmin have been creating MAC software for their devices for some time now, OK they are a larger company with more resources, but they are at least acknowledging their customer's needs.

The most sold laptop in this country for the last two years has been the Macbook! Come on Satmap, if your not going to bother, at least be honest with us all.

For all your info - I never did get the newer SatSync working under Vista x64.

Just today, Satmap informed me; "SatSYNC v1.2XX does not detect the Active 10 on 64-bit Vista." So now we know.

Given how good they appear at fixing problems, I'm still a Satmap fan...it really is like some wacky futuristic device. Shows exactly where I am? On a real OS map? I'd never have believed it...

Don't Mac users get tired of complaining? Seriously, it's like there is some big conspiricy against you. I know I will probably get a torade of abuse from the Apple fan boys, but still... I am a Mac and PC user and I knew, going in, that Mac would not have as much software available to it and would be less compatible with other hardware.

Macs do not make up 10% of the personal computing market, even if you include all the iPhones and iTouches out there it is still about 5% of the UK market.

Bob
point taken, But I when I bought the 10, I did so because the promise of Mac sync was made way back in November 2007.
If it had not been suggested then I could have taken another view, or still proceeded on the benefits of the 10 with my eyes open.
If it is not possible to create Macsync then let us know, if it is possible but there are major problems lets us know about them. It is the usual case of limited information and frustration, of which we all experienced at the beginning of 10 when we were screaming for information as to the various upgrades to overcome the initial hiccups.
However as you say as a Mac user we are used to waiting' Laughing
