Hi!

I'm hoping for some advice on getting going with my GT-31. I have an iMac Power PC G5 (Mac OSX 10.5.8). Do you know which programme is best and where to get it? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

I use Realspeed inside Parallels, running XP.

This is on a dual core Macbook running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.

You can also run GPSActionReplay natively (in java).

Unfortunately Parallels won't run on a G5, so Realspeed's out.

Another option is to upload to Dylan's speed reader site:

I used to use RealPC on my G4 (again with XP and Realspeed), it worked fine.

Thanks so much for the help!

I have downloaded GPS-results and now just waiting for a windy day to see how fast I can go - luckily I don't need too much wind (I'm 26 kg) but it will be interesting to see results - Dad has no idea what speed is possible for a windsurfer of my weight... Any one care to take an (educated or gut-feeling) guess?

On a really good speed strip like Sandy Point I recon you might give 30 knots a good nudge on a good day judging from you sailing skills in the pictures.

20 knots would be pretty respectable on less ideal water.

Good luck and let us know how you go.

Well that depends...if you go airborn the sky's the limit!

BTW can you get the "Overlay with Google Earth" menu option to work with GpsResults...I get some error about a export file not found...
