Having lost on Good Friday my "little black friend" on a cycling tour and now miss him already infinite, I must now give the long deferred vote at last.
I ordered the mini Homer already one of the first customers in October 2010. I was looking for a Thailand holiday in March 2011 an opportunity to receive the GPS data captured with my IXUS images and so be able to determine to return exactly where These pictures were taken. Previously submitted to a Kulli and notebook :)
When Internetrechere what was suitable, I push on the mini Homer. In addition to the favorite of my GPS logger function it offered many more - actually "too much I thought, but good, wenns is".
The Mini Homer came the very next day - with a so fast delivery I had not expected.
Unwrapped, read operating instructions, connect and off we went ....
In some smaller tours I learned once know the small device and ultimately love. Itself must get used to the two-button operation and know what is where shown. But all small problem.
On vacation - three weeks Thailand - signed the device to exactly. Unfortunately, no GPS unit provides the positioning in confined areas - which can not even the mini Homer. Outdoors, however, it has been found to be sufficient Satellite still short search the same contact, so that I could read the data with the software Ntrip at home. We had the mini Homer in Thailand for 3 weeks always on when we were traveling - from morning to evening - and sometimes at night. The memory was full at the end of only 50%. The battery gave always good - and read overnight wonderful invite. I now have 20 records for 20 days, who held our entire trip. The pictures to I could invite in NTRIP and so provided with the GPS data. Finally, genes rien a file upload and I can now relive our trip exactly with pictures on Google Maps or Google Earth. Wonderfully ... Oh yes, even in an airplane, it drew on. Although only when it stopped right at the window - but still.
Meanwhile, I took advantage of the mini Homer also for jogging and cycling - you want but to know which route you have traveled, how fast it was and so on. Via the display you can already see during the tour, which covered KM, the current speed and time and much more. Five GPS positions can be marked to restore beautiful places, his car, or - as here in Thailand the hotel. Using the compass function you surely returned to the marked space. So we realized in Thailand that for 35 minutes. were in a taxi on the way and we all 2.3 km as the crow had from the hotel. On the way back we found then safely on foot thanks to my little friend.
Since October there were already update - everything is working properly. Because I always want to know exactly how that goes, but I lack the technical background, I also asked a few times at Znex via email - and immediately received support. Here stands out well that the sales of a German company with German support - either by email or normal German fixed network connection is made.
In short: I am so excited about miniHomer that I save now and going to order me as soon as possible a new one.
I can recommend the Mini Homer ONLY!
