====== i-gotU GT-100 GPS logger ====== * [[http://global.mobileaction.com/|Mobile Action Technology]] * [[http://www.i-gotu.com/product/BT_GPS.html|i-gotU Home Page]] ===== Specification ===== {{ .:gps:i-gotu.jpg?200|Crappy i-gotU GPS logger}} * USB port for communication, control and battery charging * Extra small size: ... mm * No Bluetooth (larger model GT-200 has BT) * Single button operation, also push-to-log. * Two leds status * Memory?? * Battery?? ===== A definitively crappy device ===== - Logging interval by time only. Cannot set logging interval by distance. - It is impossible to distinguish waypoints acquired by push button from trackpoints acquired by time interval. - Cannot use the device with software other than the provided Windows application. ===== Does not work with Linux ===== The device is not recognised by the **Linux** kernel (2.6.22-3-686 by Debian). This is the **''lspci''** output: Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0df7:0900 Mobile Action Technology, Inc. I tried to add the above ID into the **pl2303** or the **ftdi_sio** kernel modules (source files are into the ''drivers/usb/serial/'' directory, files ''pl2303.c'', ''pl2303.h'', ''ftdi_sio.c'' and ''ftdi_sio.h''). But I got a **Segmentation fault** whenever a program tries to open the /dev/ttyUSB0 device. The i-gotU Desktop Windows program seems to not work with **Windows 98** into a **Qemu** virtual machine (installed the driver and the Desktop program).
