I know the mouse does have a working BT-connection with the phone as the SportsTracker displays the green “GPS Box” on the screen.

After a while the SportsTracker stops displaying speed/pace and distance. In irregular intervals it “comes back” for a few seconds, “notices” the new position and adds that to the previous track but then it dies again, while the stop watch keeps running all the time.

I don’t believe that I did something wrong with installing the software because that was very easy and self explanatory (throug the Nokia PC Suite), therefore I think it’s just a plain little bug in the software, as it seems to have a problem if you stop to zero speed during a session.

I would really love to get a fix for this. Other than that it is (or rather would be) a perfect tool for recording hiking trips.

Cheers,
Sascha

Stop watch works fine, but pace and distance counters got frozen every now and then. In the car it stops displaying a distance and pace after couple of minutes. I believe Nokia did it on purpose.

May be I did something wrong when installing or using the program, so I would do appreciate any thoughts and suggestions that would help me to avoid SportsTracker issues.

That is not always enough for a golf round, much less for a tourist day.

I use it for mapping, including driving all over Cuba last year, which turned out a lot more accurate than most available maps.

But being a cyclist this makes me really want to upgrade my phone so I can use this service.
