Pros: big display and tons of info
Cons: takes some figuring out on the computer side

This was my very first altimeter and wow, for the extra bit of money it was well worth it compared to a non digital type. face is perfect size and with it fitting nicely on an angle on my hand it makes it all the easier to read without tilting my hands. once you get used to navigating the display on the backside, the information this thing provides is amazing to say the least and I use the replay feature to give non skydiving friends a sense of the speed and timing. all in all, I will buy again. hopefully the software will get better so I can take advantage of that too.

Rated by: cefey (more about me) on 2008-08-08 08:21:55 (user reviews) Review ID:2039

Pros: Very accurasy, realy easy to read, logbook with lot of stuff, greate background light for night jumping
Cons: You have to buy expansive software for it:/

Really great thing! Yes, it maybe a bit more expansive then other altimeters, but you get lot more then you pay for. For the first its very great accuracy, since its digital. But since it have a analog display, so it very easy to read. It have a clear and great display. Also I like very nice background light. Very great for night jumping! Also its have a logbook with lot of data. Exit alti, deploy alti, max/min/avg speed, ff time and much more! Only thing I dont like is that I have to buy very expensive software to get my logs over to PC. Otherwise Im super happy with it and highly recomend it for everyone! Cannot enter negative DZ offset

Altitrack great, JumpTrack software, not so good.
Rated by: JonnyMac (more about me) on 2008-07-16 21:07:52 (user reviews) Review ID:2023

Pros: The instrument works as advertised.
Cons: UI is not intuitive. Jump track software is expensive and not very good.

I loved my Altitrack, but I think the JumpTrack software leaves a lot to be desired, and that takes away considerably from the package. First, Altitrack works great, as advertised. It is beautiful aesthetically and ergonomically, resting nicely on the side of the hand. The analog movement is natural and easy to read. One comment: it does not show any more granularity than the typical analog altimeter at low altitudes, while technically it could. JumpTrack is not so hot. First mistake: the product is Windows-only and uses Microsoft Access for its database. My software freezes or hangs or fails to import data at least once every time I open it. As far as I can tell, the software will not import GPS. I ran into a competitive product recently that looks superior: Paralog (www.paralog.net), which runs on Linux, Mac, or Windows, imports from GPS (jumps viewable in 3D on google earth), and supports digital logbook signatures (not sure if those are accepted by USPA, though I think not). Paralog, however, does not import Altitrack data, only ProTrack, Neptune, and a few others. The Paralog software looks so good to me (and supports publishing to web!), that if I had it to do over, I would go with a lesser instrument than Altitrack so that I could use superior software.
