No worries Gestie, if my name was Pierre or Vando you would be suspected trying to sabotage the MBM [}:)].

You're right Snides - sad but most likely true! Going off topic again but you have to read it and weep boys!

Yes we are back to the two solitary stars [both representing a massive 11 knots] in the WindGuru 7 day outlook for Perth [as at 8pm Tuesday WST].

Slowey has resorted to edgy youtube music videos featuring powertools to deal with the demons!

The GT31s haven't arrived in the UK yet. No too worried as i still have my GT11. What price are you peeps paying for it? I'm paying £100 for an aqua pac SD card and the GT31. Not a bad deal i would say.

Navi A$190
AquaPac 208 A$ 69
SD Card A$ 12

Rec Retail A $271 ~ 130 Quid

I think a lot can do better with a bit of negotiation . Tom used to sell Navis for $120 plus $10 postage but doesn't do it any more.

Similar story with Aquapac though harder to get a discount.

Storage Depot probably still has the best deal.

I use a $2.40 Clip It box with my old Garmin straps and just use the internal memory so have a functioning doppler unit in a waterproof case for 63 Pounds ( $132.40).

Not sure if there will be an increase with the 31 but doubt if it will be much.

I have read on several forums that the Navis had an ex-Taiwan price of US$600 for a box of 10 so I suspect the high Garmin price allowed dealers here to get away with asking more for it than the usual mark up. After all it was better and still comparatively cheap (to the Garmin 201) But that is just my opinion , I have no concrete knowledge of the landed price.

There was a dealer selling a package here. But I noted that the SD cards he offered (3.3v) did not work with the Navi. He was probably unaware that it ( the GT-11 at least) only worked with 2.8v cards.

Simon, I was referring to a Perth dealer about the wrong card for the 11.

According to the Locosys guys, one of the things they fixed with the 31 was making it compatible with 3.3V cards as well. But maybe it not perfect as this is what they say on their site.

GT-31 provides power of 2.8VDC.

The following cards have been tested to work with GT-31:
SanDisk 2G
Transcend 1G
Kingstone 2G
PNY 2G
PQI 2G
Apacer 2G 60X

Compatible/Suggested SD card to go with Locosys GT-31/BGT-31 or SD cards (<=2GB) with 2.8VDC(3.3VDC~2.7VDC) power input should work.


Supposedly you should get a bunch of software bundled with it. So it should be great value. Pity it is not more waterproof....

** Value-added Software bundled with GT-31***

- RealSpeed(from www.intellimass.com): excellent software to get your real speed for your GPS tracks

-GPSResults(from www.gps-speed.com) : powerful software to analyze your windsurfing data and report results to the GPS speeding community

350 miles? Hey . we are 3800km from Sandy Point. Takes days to drive or lots of money to fly (and drive) and anyway your local spots don't look too shabby.

Well i shall keep my gob shut about distance in the future lol. What other strips do you have down under? My mate is moving to Aus from NZ so i will have to lobby my better half for a visit. Sandy Point just looks sooooo good.

That spot is Daymer and storms and tide have messed up the bank the last time i was there. But Windy John Sanderson says it's looking good now. It's a one trick pony though WNW is the best direction. Very gusty in other directions.

There are some good looking strips all over the UK but we need to suss them first. Howard Rowson is doing a great job finding them. Just have to wait for the wind now. I've just got a missile xs and that has put the kiss of death on any wind for a while lol. I cant wait to try it out.
