I sent a mail to AMOD HQ and I didn't get a reply either, I just wanted to check if my unit is v1 or v2, because I made some testings and as another reviewer said: works like a drunken sailor.
I made a fixed location test for 45 minutes and the worst result gave me a 76 meters distance from the location, also tracking while I'm walking on the street is awful... very bad. Any ideas?

PS: Sorry for my english, is not my native language.

gpspassion did they give you any idea when v3 would be out. Seems to me it would be a simple fix ?

I wasn't too sure about that, but it seems the SN On/Off utility will be compatible with the existing models and should become available within a week or so, so let's stay tuned for more !

Made another trail today while cross-country skiing; open woods and clearing. The unit recorded a single track while moving but whenever I was stationary for a while, it would record seemingly random spikes. Not something to inspire confidence. If the fix can bring these under control, this would be a very good GPS logger. Until then, if you have this unit, keep moving.

Actually what you describe sounds like a SiRFstarIII GPSr with Static Navigation "off" (see the full article I linkded earlier for details), I wonder if you don't have a v1 that had SN off and sensitivity issues.

How do I tell? Inside the battery cover is a tag with a p/n and a s/n. Is there a list that would identify the version?

@GPSPASSION How can I tell if I have a v1 or v2? Mine has a serial number sticker inside the battery compartment. Can you tell which version is with that serial number?

Sorry I can't, like I wrote my test units don't have SN numbers, you'll have to ask AMOD or go with the observations made for each version, i.e. poor sensitiviy for v1 and SN for v2.

UPDATE ON SN : Looks like the new firmware I was told about is available here : http://www.amod.com.tw/Support/support.htm - it's called "Firmware upgrade for AMOD GPS Photo Tracker for SN off"

Downloaded and installed without a hitch !

The release notes also mention a new "SETUP MODE" with 6 logging modes with update rates of 1/5/10 seconds. One thing they don't say is that once you have set the mode you want you have to press the power button for 5+ seconds to get back to register the setting and turn off the device.

In Mode 6 (RMC 10 seconds) you can log for a hefty 2880 hours or 120 days !

Downloaded and will install it soon. While there, I also noticed another new file "AGL3080_V2.0_Original.zip" Should it also be installed first, it being V2.0 while the "AGL3080_V2.0S_SNOff.zip" is V2.0S? OR is it a way to reverse the change?

Edit. After reading the Release notes, the two files are complimentary, for either SN on or Off.

Edit 2
Also had a smooth upgrade. Now it is sitting on my windowsill for an other overnight static test.

Great! I just downloaded the new firmware, but I don't know what "GGA/GSA/RMC/VTG" means, can anybody help me so I can setup the device?

With this update AMOD AGL3080 has become in a much better GPS device, the option to choose the update interval was a must-have for this device. Logging while walking used to retrieve jumping coordinates, I think now it will me more accurate. NOW I'm so happy with my purchase. Thanks AMOD and GPSPASSION!

Hehe, that was just a suggestion I made and they followed up on it ;-)

GGA/GSA/RMC and VTG are all NMEA messages, you can read about that here http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5214 - to summarize it's the data sent by a GPS receiver to the receiver, the fewer the messages the more you can store, RMC is generally enough for picture geocoding, with www.Locr.com for instance, but it you want full navigation information you will need the GGA/GSA/RMC/VTG combo.

I was skeptical when I heard about incoming update of firmware. I own many devices for which vendors promised upgrades and fixes and rarely they keep their word. That is why I am very happy to announce that new firmware 2.0s for AGL3080 is fixing OTG issue. In other words I am able to copy files directly from GPS to harddrive without use of the computer (please read my previous posts for details). Great work AMOD, thanks Gpspassion for help.
