Hi Im a Mac user is there a way to up grade a GT31 to the correct speed geene on the mac? Or better still is there anyone who is PC based who could do it for me round the northern beaches in Sydney? My old one got drowned the day I lost my booms due to a burst mystic pouch, my new back up one does not seem to work the same way so I assume its not updated. Or any other advice appreciated.
Cheers Pete.

So are you missing, "history max"? This was the case, with out of the factory firmware.
You need the Tom Chalko version to get best 2s and 10s for the day.
Mine is version V1.4B0315T, and it needs the GT31 Upgrader V0.71 to install it.

I don't think it can be done with a mac, unless you're running a virtual windows utility

You need to update to the Genie Formware version.
That can only be done with a Windows machine.
i will have saved a FW version with Genie If you can't find it, PM me.

Andrew, I think all GT31s had speed genie, but the very early ones didn't have "history max".
In other words they only displayed the last run, not session max.

I've just checked the "readme" note and history max was added quite early.

=== V1.2(B0804T)============================================================
- Support GPS performance tunning based on Speed Genie settings
- Slow down LCM access
- Idle Loop Patched
- Speed Genie : add history max speed report, Buzzer/RLED Alert
- Remember selected screen
- Patch map datum bug .

So any FW after V1.2(B0804T) should be OK, as long as it's got the "T" on the end. I think it took a while before locosys put Tom's version on their webpage. As I remember it we had to download from Mount Best.

As I said, I think all GT31s have speed genie, hasn't yours got it?

As far as I remember, the difference is whether the speed genie shows the best runs for the session as well as the last runs. The early versions only showed last run.
If you PM me with your email I can send you the latest version, but you'll need to find a mate with windoze

Although saying that, this page has a mac driver for the GT31.

And also version 1.4
The one I have is V1.4B0803T
