Sadly, my Columbus V900 is broken right now, but I had had the same problems. Only work around was to wait. I also noticed with the V900 that no GPS-Points were saved while recording audio.

It's a sweet piece of hardware, which logs GPS to a micro-SD card, streams to bluetooth, and records audio notes. Sweet is a subjective term. I liked mine, but it had issues. Firstly, it took forever to get signal. Forever would mean sometimes 20, 30 minutes. Secondly, it was often way off with its measurements. I'd say something and I'd see on the map, it was a block away. Third, mine broke a few months ago. I've been looking for an Android application that can do the same thing (voice recording + gps). That'd be ideal, I think. - Serge ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

It's a sweet piece of hardware, which logs GPS to a micro-SD card, streams to bluetooth, and records audio notes. Sweet is a subjective term. I liked mine, but it had issues. It has issues: o The waypoint button sometimes fails to register. o When you press either voice or waypoint, you get the position of the most recently stored GPS position rather than the location of the moment when you pushed the button (doesn't interpolate). o Voice recording doesn't start for a moment after you pressed the record button. o Voice button ends a moment prior to you releasing the record button. o The plastic around the corner LED is weak and cracks easily. o It acts like its recording a message if you press the record button too soon after the previous message. o It doesn't record GPS positions while recording a message. But I love mine anyway. Firstly, it took forever to get signal. Forever would mean sometimes 20, 30 minutes. I only had that happen a few times. Usually with no good view of the sky. If I had used it very recently, I'd get a synch within two seconds. Secondly, it was often way off with its measurements. I'd say something and I'd see on the map, it was a block away. GPS signal bouncing off buildings? Third, mine broke a few months ago. Both of mine had the plastic around the LED in the corner break. Finally my first one just died; wouldn't turn on anymore. I've been looking for an Android application that can do the same thing (voice recording + gps). That'd be ideal, I think. Mm, not unless you're hauling around a deep-discharge marine cell to power it. The Columbus sips battery; Android devices gulp it. -- --my blog is athttp://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

So notes that come too fast after each other don't get saved. Has anybody else noticed this, and if so, what have you done for a work-around? I'm starting to think that I should just use a plain audio recorder with a plain GPS logger, and post-process them. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
