The Mac will complain that there are no recognised services, but you can ignore that warning. After clicking through the dialogs, the Qstarz should be set up as device iBT-GPS. Setting up the Bluetooth connection First things first – switch the GPS recorder to NAV mode and select “Set up Bluetooth device” from the Bluetooth menu in the menu bar. There are 3 versions of the BT-Q1000/Q1000X/Q1000P and it’s possible that only later versions support Bluetooth data transfer. I used Fusion initially to run the Windows software on my Mac, but eventually managed to find some Free/Open Source software to communicate with the Qstarz, and better yet, the software allows me to download data using Bluetooth, even though the product manual and specs say this is not supported (even on a PC). The only problem with it is that it does not come with Mac software in the box.

Comparing the tracks on Google Earth, accuracy is good enough, and in any case, I’m not sure whether the error is caused by Google Earth or by the Qstarz. The recorder itself works well – the hardware package is compact and picks up the signal easily. I settled on a not so much because it was the best – there might be better/cheaper options if I were willing to mail order – but because I needed it the next day and I managed to buy it at retail near my office. There were still a few places I couldn’t locate, however, and I figured there had to be an easier way than poring over satellite images. Thanks to the wonders of Google Earth, I managed to get a fairly good fix on most of the more interesting photos I took in North Korea and even posted them on.
